INTIMATIONS 5th JULY
Flower Rota : There are still a few dates to be filled on the Flower Rota for July – December which can be found on the notice board in the Guild Room, St Machan’s and the Small Hall, Chalmers. If you are able to take a turn, even if only for 1 Sunday, then please fill your name on the rota against one of the blank Sundays stating your preference as to supplying, delivering or both. By doing so you will help keep our Sanctuary beautiful on a Sunday morning but, more importantly, by delivering a bunch of flowers to those in our congregation and beyond in their time of greatest need or time of happy celebration you will be providing one of the most important pastoral care roles in the life of our Church. Thank you. Linda.

Can You Help?
We require some volunteers to help rake up the red stones around Larkhall New – St Machan’s grounds to allow weed killer to be put down and then re spread the stones. If you are able or know of anyone who could give a hand with this please speak to Thomas Kelly after Church or email him at thomaskelly49@yahoo.com.
Plot 2 Table – Plot 2 Table is used by Churches to interact with the local community and is run in various areas. It is hoped to establish a community education vegetable garden in the grounds of our Chalmers building for the Strutherhill and Birkenshaw areas. Permission and approval has been given by Session to use a small patch of ground at Chalmers for this purpose. Local volunteers would tend the patch. Thomas Kelly has volunteered to manage this in conjunction with the SAB (Strutherhill and Birkenshaw) Action Group, who will seek funding to run this community venture. Thomas is looking for volunteers to get involved with this very worthwhile venture and help get it up and running. If you would like to be involved or help in any way, please speak to Thomas after Church or contact him at thomaskelly49@yahoo.com.
