Donations for the Easter tombola would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Painting: The interior of Winchburgh Church is in dire need of painting. We initially thought this would be part of the renovations at the back of the church, but this is not likely to happen this year.
The Kirk Session is mindful that our finances are not in great shape.
We intend to paint the church ourselves using our own (free) labour and fund the cost of the paint from donations. If you would like to make a donation you can do so in the box at the back of the church or give it to an Elder. We estimate the cost of the paint would be circa £1,000.00; the work would start after Easter. If you are a tax payer and have not already signed a gift aid form but would like to do so, please see the Treasurer, George Taylor. Recovering the tax adds 25% to the value of your gift. Thank you for your help and generosity.
Word Search. We have a word search with a difference to find place names in Scotland England Ireland & Wales. £2 per sheet with the prize of a Marks & Spencer gift Voucher for the winner. It would be greatly appreciated if some people took a few to sell. Entries to be in by Sunday 2nd March. Please encourage people to hand them in even if they don't find all the places. They might still win! Copies available from Hilda.
