New Bibles

2/8/2017

On Sunday, 23 July, we dedicated new pew and lectern Bibles, in the New Revised Standard (NRSV) translation, in Humbie Church. We were able to purchase the new set of Bibles thanks to generous donations from the congregation.

It is also possible for you to dedicate a pew Bible in memory of someone, or to mark an occasion. A donation of £5 will allow us to print the label for you as well as help contribute towards the cost of the Bible. You can also buy a personal copy of the new Bible for £14.50. If you would like to dedicate one of the Bibles, or order a personal copy, please get in touch.

Richmond's Hope: A Mile of Memories

2/8/2017

Richmond's Hope is a charity based in Edinburgh, helping children and young people who have lost a family member.

They are doing amazing, life-changing work, and have supported families through bereavement for over ten years. While their work in Edinburgh, Midlothian, and Glasgow is local authority funded, they currently don't receive support for helping children from other areas, and so this work relies heavily on fundraising.

And they have a big fundraising event coming up in September! And you can help:

By signing up for the event;
You then receive a wooden memory stick to decorate it in memory of somebody who has passed away, and to fill the groove at the top of the stick with up to 45 £1 coins - ask your friends and family to fill it!
Once the groove is full you return the stick and coins to Richmond's Hope,
and then, on 23 September, your stick will be laid alongside all the others on Portobello Promenade, to create a Mile of Memories.
