Members of Milton of Campsie Parish Church and St Paul’s Roman Catholic Church held an ecumenical Prayer Walk around the village on Palm Sunday. Around 30 people took part, walking from St Paul’s to the Parish Church via four other stations. At each station they sang a hymn, listened to a gospel read and said a prayer.


The churches of Grangemouth held an ecumenical walk of witness around Zetland Park on Palm Sunday.


On Palm Sunday, Freuchie Church and community collected Easter Eggs for the local foodbank. A large number of eggs were handed in and are shown in a display with Minister the Rev Ian Hamilton, Session Clerk Margaret Cuthbert, Babs, Margaret, Ailsa and Rhona.


Bellshill Central Parish Church gathered over 80 easter eggs for community distribution via Potts Funeral Directors’ easter egg appeal. Fraser Mcgowan from Potts came along to church on March 19 to say thank you.


A new banner was dedicated at Beath and Cowdenbeath North Church on Palm Sunday. Designed by Bethany and made by the church’s Banner Group, it is based on Psalm 24 and carries an ecological message.
