The West Kirk Guild resumes on the 7 th October 2013 for our new Session. Our meetings are held fortnightly on a Monday evening at 7.30pm in the Church Hall. We have an exciting programme lined up. For example at our opening meeting we shall hear from our Locum Minister Dr. Jonanda Groenewald on the Guild Theme "A Fellowship to Build". For future meetings we have invited speakers from the Home Start Tanzania Project, The Sellah Singers and demonstrations on Soap making and Beauty/ Make Up.
Please come a long and join in a time of fellowship. New and former members will be made very welcome.
Regards, Alison Baxter, Guild Secy.
Jam Club starts back on Sunday 1st September. Sandra and Carol are looking forward to seeing you all after your long summer break. We were delighted to see so many of you were at the holiday club. See you soon!!!
Please remember to collect used postage stamps for the JAM Club.
You can drop them into Stampie's mouth at any time.
He is very hungry!
Would you like to see what we have been up to this week at SHOWSTOPPERS?
Then a warm welcome awaits at Polbeth Harwood.......Theatre at 7pm Friday 9th!
See our best bits, marvel at our wonderful creations and laugh along with us as our drama unfolds.
Tea, coffee and home baking will be served at the end.
This is a fun family evening and we hope you can join us.
The pastoral care committee of West Kirk have organised an outing to the David Livingstone Centre in Blantyre on Wednesday 21st August 2013.
Travel will be by train, leaving West Calder station at 9.20am on the Glasgow train.
Those wishing further details or to join this trip should give their name to either Victor Ferguson or Jill Murray by 18th August
Following the joint service held at Polbeth Harwood on Sunday 18th August, the JAM Cub will be offering hot rolls of bacon or sausage to the congregation rather than the usual biscuits with the tea and coffee. For a modest cost - the proceeds of which go to JAM Club funds - members of the congregation can have a light lunch before going off to enjoy the remainder of their day. See you there!

With just over a week to launch we are in the fantastic position of a very full house!
We have less than 8 seats still available for our first ever production.............."SHOWSTOPPERS"
So, if you want to secure your place you will have to be fast!...very fast!
Our week will commence with a wee hint of what we have planned during our Sunday morning worship on August 4th in Polbeth Harwood Church. This is a joint service and it will start at 10am. I hear we have a surprise visitor for the children that morning? We would like to extend a very warm welcome to one and all, regardless of age.
Then on Monday August 5th the doors will open at 9.50am to give a little extra time for everyone to get in and settled on the first morning at the club.
We are looking forward to warmly welcoming all our guests!
