The next ‘Stall in the Hall’ will be held on to raise funds for our Eco Congregation.
Support to provide baking would be greatly appreciated.
The Glasgow City Mission sent St Michaels a lovely ‘Thank you’ letter for the £150.00 contribution (December 2022 Stall in the Hall) to their Christmas Meals Appeal – the letter is on the notice board at the back of the church.
Eco Congregation Thought for the Week
We should recycle as much of our plastic waste as we can. But, only rigid plastics are acceptable (i.e. bottles, pots, tubs & trays), which should be clean, empty & dry. Don’t recycle anything smaller than a credit card (jams the equipment apparently!).
