Latest News: updated on 31st January 2012:

The Rainbow Tree
Our annual Rainbow Service of memorial and remembrance was held in mid-December. During the service our Rainbow Tree for winter 2011/12 was created (see picture on the right) and this will remain in church until Easter 2012.
Everyone is invited to tie a coloured ribbon to the tree in memory of a loved one and, if they wish, take a separate ribbon for their own private use. At Easter each ribbon will be carefully removed and made into a permanent reminder. Please contact the minister if you would like further information or wish to access the church other than on Sunday mornings.

Project ROCK - Restoration of Cumbernauld Old Kirk
We have received word that our latest grant applications from the Heritage Lottery Fund and Historic Scotland have made it past the first phase of approval. We await a final decision on the amount of money that will be granted, but this is good news and means that we should now be able to start work on the restoration of our roof,sometime in 2012. Watch this space!

Meanwhile, the collection of small change in 'coffee jars' for Project ROCK in December brought in the sum of £253.83, so thanks to everyone who contributed. Please keep up the good work - the next collection will be in June 2012.
