Below are the announcements from our service this weekend.
Wednesday Prayer Gathering
We are meeting to pray this Wednesday evening at 8pm in the Church Hall. I would encourage you to join us as we pray for our church family and also our island and world at this time. Alan Montgomery will be leading the prayer time this week.
Operation Christmas Child Shoebox Appeal
The Christmas Shoebox Appeal is still going ahead this year. The date for you to bring your shoeboxes to Buckna is Sunday 8th November. They’ll be put directly into cars here at the meetinghouse and the church hall. There is a £5 donation required to cover transportation and this can be paid by cheque or online. Please do not pay this by cash. If you require more information, please contact Hilary Alexander.

Although organisations cannot meet in person at the minute, they can meet online. VIBE are meeting this Thursday evening on Zoom at 7.30pm. Sara will be speaking on being committed to the Bible. All young people who are Year 8 and up are very welcome to join the online gathering.
Farmers’ Mission 2020
