Pray for Scotland
Pray for Scotland have asked that for the next 40 days up to Brexit, everyone would say the Lord’s Prayer and /or the 23rd Psalm every day at noon. Unified prayer for our nation has made a difference in the past and could do so again. Be part of it !

Reaching Out…..and…..Helping Others!
A big plea regarding our Food Bank donations!
Due to increased demand, (more and more genuine referrals) stocks are extremely low in Dunbar Parish Church / Edinburgh City Mission food bank and our help is urgently required.
All donations of tinned/dried/packet food are welcome as are cleaning materials and personal hygiene items.
Particularly needed at the moment are the following items:
tins of mince, haggis, spaghetti, rice pudding, custard, potatoes, sweetcorn, size 5 nappies, toilet rolls, shampoo and toothbrushes.
As you shop, please pick up one extra item and pop it in our Food Bank container, someone, not too far from here, will be very, very thankful for your kindness and generosity.
Annie Brown.
