A letter of thanks and a Certificate of Achievement has been received from Blythswood Care. The letter states that 114,000 boxes were donated and dispatched to India, Pakistan, Kosova, Serbia, Albania, Hungary, Ukraine, Moldova and Romania, where they would bring the light and love of Christmas to people who are so desperately poor that even a toothbrush is a luxury item.

Blythswood Care are humbled in receiving so many beautiful boxes, where the care and love of the donors shines out clearly, and volunteers helping in the sorting stations have found it a pleasure and delight. The Certificate of Achievement can be seen on the notice board.

A special Tea Afternoon serving Sponges or Scones will be held in the Methven Hall from 2pm to 4pm on 24th February in support of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution SOS Day. There will also be a Cake and Candy stall. Tickets are on sale now from Senga or pay at the door.

The Walkers next walk is on Sunday 26th February leaving from the Church at 12.45pm in shared cars heading for Townhill Loch, Dunfermline. The walk is flat but muddy in the wooded areas. On this occasion we are to meet up with the Walkers Group from St Andrew's Erskine Church, Dunfermline who will give us the benefit of some local knowledge and extend the very short walk around the loch to around 4 miles. Coffee and scone at local venue.

A short course of Lent Studies will start on Tuesday 28th February. Booklets for the course are available from Robin. Students can attend any or all of the study meetings.

The Guild are holding a concert in the Methven Hall on Monday 13th February at 7.15 pm featuring Maximum Revs. Tickets are available now priced £3 which includes refreshments.

The Walkers next walk is on Sunday 5th February leaving from the station via the train at 13:10 from Kirkcaldy to Dalgety Bay station. We'll walk through the old Hillend village then up a fairly steep hill before descending to part of the coastal walk at Dalgety Bay/St David's Harbour. 4.6 miles. Coffee will be at Dobbie's

News of the Harvest Project to which we contributed in September:

Jenny Featherstone is now on the road again after major repairs to her pick-up truck. In December she visited the compound of Ipusukilo, where the INSAKA , the meeting place for the ladies' group, is in good shape and water-tight after the repairs to roofing and surrounding walls - all much appreciated. The planning for land and crops and tools is a bit slow without guidance, so Jenny is encouraging them to investigate prices, also to make a list of requirements. It looks as if they will rent 1 hectare of land and hire a tractor to plough it, so that they can plant soya and maize – now is the rainy season and suitable.

The Walkers next walk is on Saturday 14th January leaving the church at 9.30am. We're heading for Auchtermuchty to do the Common Loop walk joining up with The Clink at approx 4.6 miles. It is on a gradient from the start, with some rough paths and muddy sections to contend with, but a smashing walk all the same. Coffee/bowl of soup at the Cycle Tavern at the finish. All are welcome.
