Our children.
This past week, children from both our Primary schools , have been preparing for Christmas and I’ve had the honour and pleasure of witnessing their performances to the community. Enjoy the attached videos!

Kindness Calendar
The children from St Ninian’s children’s liturgy group are taking part in an Advent Kindness Calendar as we travel towards Christmas. Here are the suggestions for the first week in Advent which are posted on the board at the main entrance of the church. Encourage the children on their Advent journey as they are very enthusiastic!
Stovies!
Our monthly soup and stovies deal is proving to be popular with our customers. All the vegetables we used were the produce of our church garden, tenderly nurtured by our Garden Gang.
The little we had left over, we offered as a takeaway- ideal for people living on their own.
We are very fortunate to have a great team of volunteers willing to help with the prep, serving and clearing up. Thank you!
Spring Prep!
The Garden Gang had a wee trip out today to help the children at St Ninian’s Primary School do a bit of bulb and wildflower planting! They were lovely little people and enthusiastically got mucky as they planted and scattered various bulbs, corms and seeds.
Can’t wait to see the results next spring and summer!
Here we can see Jim (who is wearing the striped top) TRYING to make sure the roots were pointing down and the shoots were pointing up 😆 It’s destined to be a very original display!
CC Update
It’s been some time since we’ve shared news about what’s happening at CC’s and in the garden. There’s always something going on every Thursday! Here’s a flavour……
The Garden
This Thursday was a beautiful Autumn day which was ideal for bulb and wild seed planting. Once again, Allison, the Community Champion from Tesco Riverside came up trumps with bulbs for us! She is a real champion! Liz and Louise didn’t waste any time in getting them in the ground.
Meanwhile, Jim and the 2 Brians worked at tidying the area at the side of the house where Storm Arwin had reeked havoc and felled a tree. This area next Spring will hopefully be full of wild flowers and a haven for bees, butterflies and other pollinators as a result of their hard work.
CC’s (our Community Cafe)
Our lunchtime customers were offered the choice of Leek and Potato or Courgette and Minted Pea soup. For ‘seconds’, a toastie or a cheese scone? Decisions, decisions….
After the food and a chat, there was an unexpected bonus when John, a new visitor to the cafe demonstrated an enjoyable gentle form of exercise.
Children’s Harvest Samba
Today, at the 9.30 Mass, we were delighted to hear the children who attend the Children’s Liturgy, sing a “samba style” song in praise of and thanking God for the fruits of our harvest. We have to share this wonderful song by “Songs for Every Occasion“, with you and we’re sure you will enjoy it as much as we did.
Silver Award!
