Harvest
Thanks to all who contributed to the Harvest Supper last Friday evening. Harvest Festivals take place this coming Sunday in both parishes. Gifts of tinned food to be donated to Startup Stirling will be especially appreciated. From past experience, fresh fruit and vegetables prove hard to utilise as there tends to be an abundance at this time of year. Thank you for your understanding.
St Andrew’s Christmas Fair
10.00 Saturday 10th November at Callander Kirk Hall
We are seeking donations of tombola and raffle prizes and there is a box at the back of church for that purpose. It would be of great assistance in planning for the day if gifts could be given in good time: thank you for your support.
St Mary’s Carol Service
This takes place at 15.00 on Sunday 16th December. Mary-Clare Brown (07835250753) is seeking singers both for a children’s and an adult choir for the service. If this might be of interest to you or anyone you know, please contact Mary-Clare direct.

Eternal God,
