Special Events & Activities

Cumbernauld Old has a number of activities that take place monthly, quarterly or annually. The dates for these vary, so please keep an eye on our 'What's On' pages for the latest news.

However, the list below should give you an idea of the kind of activities we offer and the activities that take place within the parish.

At the start of 2008 Cumbernauld Old participated in a Stewardship Programme called 'Together We Make A Difference'. To read all about it, click here

Services at the Village Nursing Home
	These take place on the last Thursday of every month at 11.00am

Meeting Point
	This takes place on the last Friday of every month from 1.00pm to 3.00pm and provides an opportunity for people to drop in, have a cup of coffee and a chat. It is open to all - parents with young children, older people, whoever - join us for some friendly company and a chance to meet with friends.

*Sacrament of Holy Communion*
	This is celebrated on the first Sunday of March, June, September and December at services in the Parish Church at 11.00am and 6.30pm. At the evening service non-alcoholic wine is used. There is no worship at Balloch on these Sundays as the congregation comes together for worship.

Toddlers' Praise
	Worship services for the 'wee ones' (pre-school) and their families take place in the Parish Church to celebrate Easter, Summer, Harvest and Christmas.

The Rainbow Service
	Held annually on a Sunday afternoon in mid-December for families who have been bereaved or suffered loss, and who find the 'jolly' side of Christmas difficult. During the service, worshippers are invited to tie a ribbon to a bare tree in memory of a loved one. As the ribbons are tied to the tree it becomes a colourful reminder of hope in the darkness. The tree remains in the church until Easter (or until the clocks go forward the following spring). Every individual ribbon is then untied and kept until it is sewn into a permanent reminder, such as a banner, etc. See our Picture Gallery for examples of how previous ribbons have been used.

Remembrance Sunday
	Services take place annually on the Sunday nearest the 11th November at the War Memorial in the Village at 10.45am and afterwards at the Parish Church. There is also a service at the Forge Centre, Balloch at 11.45am.

Elders' Forum
	Not just a Cumbernauld Old activity, the Elders' Forum is an occasional gathering of the elders of the five Church of Scotland congregations in Cumbernauld. The Elders' Forum meets around three times a year and is an opportunity for fellowship and a sharing of ideas and resources. Details of their current programme can be obtained by clicking here.
