Weekly Notices Sunday 17 June 2018Added on 17 Jun 2018
Today
1. Location of Defibrillator It has been brought to my attention that some members of the congregation are unsure about where the defibrillator is situated. It is inside a red container case which is held within a bracket. The bracket is on the wall to the left of the small Kitchen hatch outside the Macnab Room, where the telephone used to be. Apologies for any confusion. Pat Macdonald.

6. Meet your MP: the Church and Society Council and the Scottish Churches Parliamentary Office are running a programme of meet your MP events and have encouraged congregations to take part in this. Our MP, for the Westminster Parliament, is Joanna Cherry MP. Joanna has agreed to take part in a meet your MP evening at Craiglockhart Church on Thursday 23 August. The plan is that between 7.30–9.00 Joanna will speak on her work as an MP and answer questions put to her. The evening will end with tea and coffee and a chance to meet Joanna more informally in the church hall. If you have a question you would like to ask our MP please put this in writing and hand it or email it to Gordon Kennedy – gordonkennedy@craiglockhartchurch.org – and we will prepare a varied list of questions for the evening.
This first meet your MP evening is being held for church members only, it may be in future that we host evenings for the whole community, but this first one is only for church members.
