Older people’s group The recent Outlook contained a note from Elaine Grogan of East Renfrewshire Council about a proposed older people’s group to be run in the Carswell Centre from January. Elaine would like to hear from those interested in assisting this venture and plans to hold a meeting of volunteers in November. The meeting would confirm the time and frequency of the group activities. Contact Elaine at 0141 577 3657 or elaine.grogan@eastrenfrewshire.gov. uk if you want to help.

Foodbank Organisers thanked everyone who contributed to the 30kg of food delivered to the Barrhead collection point from the Eaglesham Parish Church. A letter was received by Wendy, the session clerk, from the East Renfrewshire Foodbank management team, thanking the church for “steadfast support over the last three years.” Sixty-four tonnes have been distributed in 3467 packages and a third of the weight was donated by the 20 churches who are involved in East Renfrewshire.

DNA group DNA groups have started again, running from the beginning of this week. They will be looking at Paul’s letter to the Ephesians. If you are interested in taking part in one of these small, informal groups, please contact Gillian Norval at 303632 or email gilnorval@hotmail.com.
