us with the safe handling of cash. Have you signed a Gift Aid Form? If you pay
tax, then every £1 you give to the Parish is worth £1.28 to us. Would
you consider remembering Saint Peter's in your will?

PROTECTION OF CHILDREN AND VULNERABLE ADULTS
- MISSION STATEMENT
The Catholic Church in Scotland is concerned with the lives,
safety, wholeness and well-being of each individual person within God's purpose
for everyone. It seeks to safeguard the welfare of people of all ages who are
involved in whatever capacity with the Church and its organisations. As a Church
community, we accept that it is the responsibility of all of us, ordained, professed,
paid and voluntary members, to work together to prevent the physical, sexual,
emotional abuse or neglect of children, young people and vulnerable adults.
SAINT
PETER'S PARISH CENTRE
To book the Parish Centre, please phone Fiona or Michael.
Because of licensing laws, the Centre cannot be booked for eighteenth or twenty-first
birthday
parties. The charge for an evening function is £100; for a day-time function,
£15 per hour and the fee for a licence is £25 including service charges.
GUIDES
FUNDRAISING FETE
The Guides are having a fete in the Parish Centre on Saturday
31 May. Details will follow later.
SAINT PETER'S CHILDREN'S CENTRE
Afternoon
places are available in Saint Peter's Nursery starting in August 2008. For more
information and an application form, please contact Josephine Coulter.
SPRING
SONGS
There will be an evening of music featuring our parishioner, Theresa
Coulter with Marie Claire Breen, Jamie Munn and soloists from the Royal Scottish
Academy of Music and Drama in Saint Peter's Church on Friday 23 May at 7.30 pm.
Tickets, costing price £5 and £4 concession, are available at the
door.
CATHOLIC NEWSPAPERS
Each week, we have copies of the Scottish
Catholic Observer and The Universe available for sale. They are informative on
events happening in the Catholic world in Scotland and the rest of the world.
Perhaps you could reserve your copy at the stall. This would ensure that we order
enough and not too many.
HOLIDAY
Canon Matt
is on from Monday to Thursday of this week. Father
Gabriel
is presently in Uganda. Father Jim Hayes (463641) or Father Martin Polland
(463225) are available. I am planning to go to the Biblical city of Ephesus
in Turkey. Saint Paul visited and lived in Ephesus at least twice and he wrote
a famous Letter to the Ephesians. Timothy preached Christ to the citizens
of Ephesus (Paul's' Letter to Timothy). Priscilla and Aquila went to Ephesus
with Paul (Acts of the Apostles 18:18). John, the Gospel writer, lived in
Ephesus for about twenty years after the death of Jesus.
CHURCH
GROUNDS
We pay to have our grass cut round the Church, Parish Centre and house
but we could do with a little help to keep the weeds in order and to work a pressure
washer. Do you need to fill a few hours each week? Please phone me.
WORLD
YOUTH DAY BEETLE DRIVE
There will be a fundraising Beetle Drive for World Youth
Day in Australia on Monday 26 May in the Parish Centre at 7.00 pm. Tickets cost
£2 for adults and £1 for children and concessions. All are welcome.
50/50
CLUB
May payments for the 50/50 Club are now due to collectors or promoters.
Please inform your promoter if you wish to withdraw your membership. A few places
remain unpaid since January. The next draw is for four prizes of £25 and
a bonus draw of £100. You need to be in it to win it.
