Welcome to the home page of Blairdaff and Chapel of Garioch
Parish Church.
Following our exciting Service of Union on 24th
April 2007, we are one Church
of Scotland congregation with two centres of worship.
We are a lively and growing congregation which
encompasses all age groups. Children and young people are always
very welcome to stay in church for the whole service, though we
do run Sunday Schools and
older youth groups.
If you are a visitor or new to the area you are
especially welcome and we hope you will stay for our time of fellowship
following the service.
NEWS
Used Postage Stamps (January 15th)
At this time of year we are likely to have used postage stamps.
Please cut/tear these from your envelopes or letters, leaving
a small border if possible. These will be collected and
forwarded to the Church of Scotland in Edinburgh where they will
be sold for charity.
Box for Malawi - ongoing
There is a box in church to accept donations of goods to be sent
out to the Ekwendeni area of Malawi.
Due to the devestating HIV/ Aids epidemic more than 5000 orphans
are desperate for the basics of life which we take for granted:
almost anything new or in good condition would be appreciated.
Items such as bedding/ towels/ toys/ spoons/ bowls/ toothpaste/
toothbrushes/ clothes/ soap/ games/ footballs - the list is endless.
Also books on car maintenance/ woodworking tools (in good condition)/
sewing machines/ thread/ wool/ knitting needles - these gifts
are used in the training of older orphans who can then pass on
their skills and help others make a living.
These children are able to make clothing and bedding out of what
we would discard as out of date or out of fashion.
Please bring along anything you think might be useful - but no
food items, please.
Goods collected will be forwarded to the Raven Trust to be sent
by container to Malawi.
Congregational Picnic
A big thank you to Mike Tait for hosting this fun afternoon.
There was a little rain but this didn't stop the fun - a treasure
hunt, the zip wire and a dip in the pond.
