Remembrance Sunday Other Milngavie churches are changing their service times so people can attend the Community Remembrance at the village War Memorial at 11am.  On Monday 19th October the Vestry will consider the proposal to change St Andrew’s service time on 8th November to 9.30am to allow people to attend the community remembrance. Please express any views to Tim or Helen.

An advert seeking a new Rector for St Andrew’s appeared in the Church Times paper on Friday 16th October and will be on its website until the week before the closing date.

Applications will be received by the Diocesan Office and reviewed by the Bishop and Dean in consultation with the Vestry. Preliminary interviews could take place before Christmas via Zoom.
