BOOK OF REMEMBRANCE – Any names to be entered in this Book should be given to Ann McDonald (01748 823223) along with the date of death and a donation of £5.

The Charity of the Month (collection today) is World Vision, who are working alongside communities in nearly 100 countries to improve children's lives by focusing on child protection, child health and emergency response.

Questionnaire We would really appreciate the views of the congregation about whether you would like to have a CMS mission partner or a link with Rug Aid. This would involve an extra financial commitment on top of regular giving to the church and charity of the month, so there are no right or wrong answers. The questionnaire gives details and there is a box at

the back of church for the responses. There will be three weeks to fill this in, so please take the questionnaire home to think about it if you would like to. Many thanks. The Charities Committee.

The Happy Bodgers – Are you in need of some small practical assistance? Then perhaps the Happy Bodgers may be able to help. Why not give us a call on 01748 826803 and John Dickinson will see if they can help and take it from there.

A very big thank you to all who have contributed to the success of our flower festival, in every way. It attracted in excess of 600 people to visit our church, many visitors for the first time. A total of £1067.69 has been raised for St Mary's Church funds. Katrina Templeton Canon John and Liz would like to invite you to an Open House on Saturday 15th July at the Rectory, Church Wynd.
