Art Sale – Sunday 12th June – Hallam Community Hall
This sale is an opportunity for the artist to have a second chance to show work and for customers to have an opportunity to enjoy another look and maybe grab a bargain.
All work has been created by members of the Hallam art group which meets weekly at the Hallam community hall and exhibits annually in October in the same hall and also in May at the botanical gardens classroom sale.
Service of Thanksgiving and celebration in St Columba’s Church for those who died during the pandemic restrictions
St Columba’s Church is holding a service at 2.30pm this Sunday 15th May to celebrate and give thanks for those who died during the pandemic, and in particular for those who felt the restrictions meant they could not properly mark the death of a loved one.
We anticipate this will be the first of a few occasions when we do this, so there will be other opportunities for those who cannot make this particular time, but all are welcome. If you wish to attend specifically to pay tribute to your relative, please let us know the relevant name so they can be mentioned and prayed for. The invitation is to all members of the church and the wider community.
