baptisms and marriages (01383 735417, email: robert@dalgety-church.co.uk).

.
Sunday worship is held every week at 10.30am. Children are welcome to join us, and a creche is available for the smallest ones.
The Fair Trade Stall
is held on the first Sunday of each month, before and after the
service. A wide range of coffee, tea, sugar, honey, dried fruits,
chocolate and sweets is available and you have the satisfaction of
knowing that for each item, a fair price has been paid to a Third World
producer. As a result of the few pence which you pay, children can go
to school, villages can build latrines and communities can have health
clinics.
Malawi Rice is back in stock!
We
have further supplies of delicious fairly traded long grain aromatic
white rice grown and harvested by smallholder farmers in Malawi.
Why not help a family out of poverty by buying a kilo of
Kilombero rice? If a Malawian farmer can sell 90kg of rice at
Fair Trade prices, he will make enough money to send one of his
children to secondary school for one year. For just £3 you
will
get 1kg of the nicest rice you have ever tasted and the satisfaction of
knowing that somewhere in Malawi a child has got one step nearer the
education which will change his or future.
