Sunday Club Resumes

  • 29 August 2013

SUNDAY CLUB has now resumed and we have been very busy planning our new session.

We will be exploring some fantastic Bible adventures and learning some new songs….which we hope to share with you all on a Sunday morning in the near future.

We aim to make this a fun experience for the children in order to keep them coming along bon a Sunday morning so there will also be a good sprinkling of fun challenges and some crafts thrown in for good measure!

Please help us by encouraging friend’s neighbours and local children to come along and see what we have planned remembering to make new children and their parents feel at ease and welcome in our church.

Celebrating 20yrs of Blythswood Care

Celebrating 20 years of caring

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the start of the Shoebox Appeal and once again Rhoda Lawton and her team are gearing up to get as many shoeboxes as possible ready and checked before they are transported across to the continent.                                               Closing date for the boxes is Sunday 3rd November when they will be sorted and checked at Polbeth Church.

Rhoda will be giving details later, but in the meantime, pick up a leaflet from the vestibules, get your shoebox and start collecting the items to go into it.

For those unable to get to the shops, for the Sundays of 8th and 15th September, Eleanor Davidson will have a stall at Polbeth Harwood selling the essentials for a box at very competitive rates. Any profits from these sales go towards the cost of transporting the boxes.

Holiday Club Review

  • 21 August 2013

Over 50 local children enjoyed a fun packed week at our first ever holiday club "Showstoppers" held in Polbeth Harwood church.

During the week over 40 adult volunteers assisted in the care, fun and games provided throughout the week, and we had a full house at the Grand Finale on the Friday evening.

Feedback from both local families and volunteers has been very positive and encouraging, hopefully this will become an annual event in our Church.

Many thanks to all who supported us, you helped us make this the great success it was.
