Intimations – 6th December 2020
Dedications or requests for the next Kirkgate By Request programme should be given to Stuart by Sunday 6th December please – email requests@kirkgatechurch.org.uk – the show will be broadcast at 7pm next Sunday 13th December and will have a suitably festive feel to it.
We will be holding our annual Christmas Gift Service on Sunday 13th December in aid of the homeless. Unwrapped gifts are required for all ages this year and again can be handed in at any of our Thursday or Sunday services before or on the 13th December.
Once again this year we will be holding a “Blue Christmas” service offering a time of quiet reflection for those who have been bereaved or missing loved ones. The service will be held on Sunday 20th December at 2pm in the church hall.
As Christmas Eve is on a Thursday this year, there won’t be a midweek morning service on 24th December. Instead we will be holding a Christmas Eve service at 2pm (and 4pm if required for extra numbers). All welcome to attend but please contact Mima as usual to reserve your seat.
Many folk have been asking about the Christmas Fair, and as you’ll appreciate it is not possible to hold it this year due to the COVID-19 restrictions. The Christmas Fair was an important fundraising event for the church, and given that our income has already dropped considerably due to the restrictions, we are asking people to consider making a donation to the church for the amount that you normally would have spent in connection with the Fair. These donations can be handed in at either the Thursday or Sunday services until the end of the year. Alternatively, contact Vivien Bruce our Session Clerk who can arrange for your donation to be uplifted.
Freewill offering envelopes are now available for uplifting when the hall is open on Sundays and Thursdays. If anyone can uplift and deliver a friend’s or neighbour’s envelopes this would be appreciated. The remainder will be delivered before Christmas and if anyone has any questions please contact Moira Cooper on 468851.
