• Sunday 1st October - Songs of Praise Service : Our Songs of Praise Service will be held on Sunday 1st October and if you have not voted for your top 3 Hymns yet then time is running out.

Please come along and enjoy some good home baking with a cup of tea or coffee, Guess the Bear’s Birthday and more…. Your support and company will be most very welcome. Cost is £2.00 which is payable at the door.
• Monday 9th October - Tea Dance : There are plans in place to hold the first Larkhall New Parish Church, Afternoon Tea Dance, which is to be held in Chalmers Hall on Monday, 9th October from 1pm until 3pm and it is hoped that you will help and support this venture. Help would be appreciated in various ways. You could help by letting people know the details of the event or you could help by supplying some home baking, or you could volunteer to help at the event by helping setting up the hall and food, or serving our guests, or the less glamorous, clearing up at the end. All these tasks are vital to the success of this happy, fun and food filled afternoon tea dance.
If you would be willing and able to help in any way please give your name to either Anne Strachan or May Prentice. Your support would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
• Shoebox Appeal 2023: The Christmas Shoebox Appeal -2023 has been launched. I don’t yet have a date for the uplift of the boxes but it is usually around the end of October. Larkhall New will again be participating in the appeal and I know finances are going to be stretched for everyone but if you are able to perhaps spread the cost over the next 2 months and pick up a couple of things when out shopping, I am confident we can still give our usual generous support for this very worthwhile appeal. The usual information leaflets are at the exit doors. Please do pick up one on your way out. Thank you.
