| Word for Today |
Sun 06 July 2008 |
| UCB are changing the way they distribute the free daily bible reading notes, Word for Today. After the August-October edition they will no longer be sending bulk mailings to church contacts so you will not be able to pick them up from the bookstall. |
|
|
| All who would like to continue receiving it should sign up themselves using the order form in a recent copy of Word for Today. If you do not have an order form, please leave me your full name and address at the bookstall and I can order for you. If you have Internet access you can order online at http://www.ucb.co.uk/index.cfm?itemid=124. There is also a youth version called The Word 4U 2Day which can be ordered in the same ways.

| Manse Fund -Congratulations |
Sun 06 July 2008 |
| In 1999 Joymount borrowed £236,800 from Presbyterian Mutual Society to build the new Manse and carry out modifications to the Church Halls. This loan was to be paid back over 10 years and the good news is that we have paid back the loan plus interest of £67,735 ONE YEAR EARLY. The Session and Church Committee would like to thank everyone in the congregation who made this possible. |
|
|
| The Manse envelopes will no longer be used and the Committee would ask everyone who supported the Manse Fund to please start, if you do not already, to contribute to the Property Fund. Through lack of contributions to the Property Account over a number of years the Committee have been unable to maintain the Church buildings to the usual high standard and your continued support would enable them to reverse this trend. Jim Bodles (Hon Treasurer) |
