of the Parish. Banker's Orders amount to an average of £4400 per month.
BANKER'S
ORDERS, GIFT AID AND WILLS
Have you thought of using a Bankers Order? It assists
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?

to £410.13 - many thanks.
THANKS
Many
thanks to the children who were such a good example to us as they were confirmed
and received Holy Communion for the first time and to their parents and family
members. We would also like to thank the staff of Saint Peter's Primary School,
the young musicians and in a special way the adults who gave so much help with
the Sunday morning preparation programme.
READERS
Next weekend's readers are Pauline Taylor, Sarah Guthrie and Ronnie Cairns.

and singers in their own parish ministry and also build up relationships and share
good practice among musicians and singers form different parishes. Even if you
just enjoy singing, you will also be very welcome. The event will take place on
Saturday 7 June in the Church of Our Lady and Saint Cuthbert, 28 Dailly Road,

Mass at 5.30 pm. For further information, contact Michael McCulloch.
SAINT
PETER'S NURSERY
The Nursery premises have experienced some petty vandalism
over the last few weekends with taps left running, toys moved or missing, names
scribbled on the blackboard, birthday cake removed, birthday sweets opened and
so on. The staff think it is children - the names might be a clue! Please report
anything unusual to Michael or Fiona. Child Protection rules mean we must report
any possible attempt to access pupil's files and so on.
PROTECTION
OF CHILDREN AND VULNERABLE ADULTS - MISSION STATEMENT

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.
