- Fairmilehead Church Guild -
- Who Are We? -
We are
an Afternoon Guild that meets at 2.30pm in the Frogstone Hall at FPC on the
first and third Wednesdays of each month from October to April.
We have a very varied syllabus for the coming
year and warmly welcome new and existing members to our meetings.
- What Do We Do?
-
The
Church of Scotland Guild has around 30,000 members and its purpose is to
unite men and women in Christian fellowship and to enable them to express
their faith in worship, prayer and action. Annual themes
were introduced to encourage Guilds to plan their programmes more
effectively. The
Theme for 2011-12 is "Called to walk humbly with God"
We have a different
Chairperson at each meeting and we invite speakers from our own church, from
the local community and further afield to talk on interesting, topical
subjects that are creative, charitable or social.
We have a very varied syllabus for the coming year.
