Amy Orr-Ewing on Sunday 3 March - do plan to come to Heriot Watt University for the 10.30am service as there’s lots of space for us all to be church family together as we hear from Amy! Try to arrive early to ensure you get a good seat – and remember to allow for time to walk from the parking areas. (No 8.45 service, or services at Balerno High School or St Margarets). No evening service at 6.30pm as it’s Social Sunday.
Balerno Farmers Market, Saturday 9 March, 9am–1pm. Pray for the team giving out craft bags and church leaflets – for great conversations and connections made in the community. And if you’d like to join the team for a slot on the stall, either this month or at future markets, please contact andrea.brewster@stmungos.org
Baptism service planned. Sunday 10 March at 1pm. Short service then baptisms in pool at Balerno High School. Plan to come and support those being baptised – adults and youth from both congregations. Why not bring a packed lunch to have beforehand? No evening service on 10 March.
