Walking Group

Some members of Cambusnethan North Church join the walks organised by a local group, spending time exploring the great outdoors (and the, at times, unpredictable weather!) in nearby places. It’s a good chance to catch up with others and get out and about. The group has provided a list of summer walks here – and if you’re interested in coming along please contact Rev. Mhorag

The next walk is expected to be on 30 June 2010, to Greenhead Moss (the Secret Pond) and will be led by Cathie.

MADE4U IN ML2

The community project MADE4U IN ML2, of which Cambusnethan North is a partner church, has recently updated their website with a slideshow of some of the work they have been doing in the area with groups of young people and adults. This can be viewed below (and also via the MADE4U IN ML2 website which provides further details about the activities going on at the moment).

The MADE4U IN ML2 project team have organised another Band Night for young people in our area, following the success of the last event they held. It will take place next Saturday, 22nd May, at Coltness Community Centre from 7pm onwards. For more details about this, or to buy tickets, please contact members of the MADE4U IN ML2 project team

More general information about the work and vision of the MADE4U IN ML2 project (of which Cambusnethan North is a partner church) is available from their website or by contacting Anita, Sandra and Robert directly. The project is always seeking new supporters and volunteers, and they’d also be glad to hear from anyone willing to help out in their work.

This is Christian Aid Week

Christian Aid week runs until Saturday and many fundraising events are taking place across the country (read more about it on Christian Aid Scotland as well as the main Christian Aid site). As a church, we’ve been involved in the work of Christian Aid for many years – and during the week representatives from the congregation will be out collecting donations around Cambusnethan.

The current Christian Aid Week campaign video is available here (and is also on the Christian Aid website too):

6th May, Election day …

As the country goes to the polls, today may be a good time to look at the webpage of the Church and Society Council of the Church of Scotland on parliamentary affairs, as well as the Scottish Churches Parliamentary Office website and the information about the general election available on the Churches Together in Britain and Ireland website. These resources, which aren’t party specific but are generally informative, may be of particular interest to those considering political issues from a Christian perspective.

Sunday service now starts at 11am

Time 2 GoRecently, we’ve just begun trialling a slightly different service time for Sunday worship – instead of meeting at 11.30am, the service is now beginning at 11am. This is likely to be reviewed by the Kirk Session later in the year before it becomes a permanent feature!

For anyone who hasn’t yet come along to a service at the Church, more details about the kind of thing that happens on a Sunday can be found on our worship page.

Photos …

If you have photos of the local area, or perhaps even short videos, you might like to add them to the Cambusnethan North Church group on Flickr. Photos don’t need to be of the Church specifically, but could be of Cambusnethan, the Perchy and Greenhead Moss, other areas in Wishaw, and other local Churches and events. We plan to feature some of your photos from the Flickr group on this blog. (If you don’t already have a Flickr account, you could sign up for a free one).
