MESSAGE FROM FATHER FORREST

A Very Happy New Year to each and every one of you - full of God’s Grace and Blessing.My sincere thanks for so much kindness shown to me over the Christmas period.

PILGRIMAGE - We are currently investigating the possibility of a parish pilgrimage to Iona Abbey, which would include two night's accommodation on the Isle of Mull, in August 2020. The cost would be approximately £350 and if preferred a payment plan can be arranged in the months prior to the pilgrimage. The cost includes accommodation, breakfast and evening meals, the hire of a coach and both entrance to and a guided tour of Iona Abbey. If you would be interested in going, please add your name to the list in the church hall, or email Callum on callum.timms@rcboness.org.

COLLECTIONS The Offertory Collection last weekend realised £457.74 and the Second Collection £100.66, grateful thanks to all donors. Also, very many thanks to the anonymous donor for the most generous gift of £350 for the Christmas decoration of the church.  There will be a Special Collection today for the work of Justice and Peace.

VOLUNTEERS’ ROTA – The new six months rota for those who undertake voluntary duties in the parish is available in the hall.

200 CLUB – renewal of membership of the 200 Club (£13 per number) is now due.
