Christmas at St. Columba’s went very well indeed, with good
attendances and participation at the various acts of worship and
celebrations. We had a fantastic turnout at the Christmas Eve All-Age
Celebration and also on Christmas Day at the joint Service where the
children displayed some of their presents and the Ministers tried to
connect these to the Christmas story. On Christmas Eve, we collected
£325.96 (including Gift Aid) for United Missions to Nepal with
whom our Mission Partner Joel Githinji works and at the joint Service
on Christmas Day £287.04 for the Scottish Refugee Council. At the
Joint Watchnight Service on Christmas Eve in John Knox Church, the
offering came to £687 of which one third went to Stewarton Academy
Band and the remainder went to the Scottish Refugee Council. In
the run-up to Christmas, the children and congregation took part
in two annual Appeals. They filled 90 Christmas shoe-boxes for the
Blythswood Care Appeal and these were all sent to Eastern Europe in
time for Christmas. They also produced 69 parcels for East Ayrshire
Churches Homeless Action Appeal. The Minister led the now*
annual
“Light up a Life” Service in Church on the Sunday afternoon before
Christmas. This helped many people whose bereavement issues at that
time of the year are difficult to handle.
