A warm welcome to each and all who gather in Park Church this morning. Whoever you are today and however far you have travelled to be here, we hope you will enjoy your time with us as we worship God together and give God thanks for week past and seek God's blessing for the week to come.

Sunday School
We will take all children from 3 and upwards however if your child is younger, we would still welcome your child along and will have activities in place to keep them amused. We meet in the small Hall at 11am.
The last two successful years covered the many stories that children can enjoy in both Genesis and Exodus and we are now progressing through the Old Testament.Our focus for the 2019 session is on the books of Samuel. In Samuel, there are many famous biblical stories that children can relate to and learn from.
We display the children’s work from each of the week’s lessons on the boards in the hall so feel free anytime to come through and visit us and have a look at what the children have been doing.

The 4th Giffnock Rainbows
We have had a great term this year! We have started on the new programme and are concentrating on the theme ‘Be Well’. The girls have learned about healthy eating, safety in your house, and staying happy!
We have had a number of new girls join so we linked making our promise in with Halloween. We all dressed up and had a night of crafts and games before the parents all joined us and the girls said their promise together. We also had a bonfire night themed evening and made excellent dark pictures of the night sky full of fireworks! Our brilliant leader Trudi is passing on the baton after many years to our wonderful Guide leader Lucy! Lucy will be leading the Rainbows with a new team - Kaitlin and Joanna. They have been helping since the start of term learning the ropes and are keen to take over! We thank Trudi for her time with the Rainbows!

The 4th Giffnock Guides
We have had a great term so far, starting off with our camp in September. We had a jam-packed weekend at Netherurd with adventurous activities such as zip lining and high ropes courses, not to mention sleeping under canvas which was a first for many girls! Girlguiding UK have launched a new programme this year and we have thoroughly enjoyed getting stuck into the new activities and badges on offer. We recently had 8 girls make their Guide promise at our Halloween party which was a great success thanks to the planning of our older Guides who are working on completing their Baden Powell Award. Leaders are in the first stages of planning another camp for June 2019 in the hope for a weekend of sunshine!
7:00 pm
The Giffnockhill Ranger Unit
Giffnock Rangers have had an exciting term! We have around 8 girls regularly and enjoy a range of things together twice a month. We had a joint camp with the Guides and had a fabulous weekend! We did zip lining, high ropes, outdoor cooking and other adventurous activities! We stayed in wigwams and the guides stayed in tents - it was lots of fun!
Also, we have taken inspiration from our favourite tv show and had a Bake-Off competition! Two teams made cakes and the leaders were the judges!
We also had a cross stitch themed evening and attempted to create different patterns following sets - it was a challenge! Just after bonfire night we had our own fireworks display and were learning how to safely handle small garden fireworks and sparklers. We are having a murder mystery night before Christmas and afterwards the girls have some down time for prelims!
Come and join us!
12:00 am
The 4th Giffnock Brownies
We are a large unit of 28 girls following the new Every Girl Programme.
After the summer break the Brownies have been working on their Citizen Girl Activities which involve learning about the history of Girlguiding by making a timeline. The girls also created their own newspaper headlines and wrote articles for their newspapers.
During October the Brownies have been enjoying doing Halloween crafts. The Brownies make pumpkins to store their chocolate in during Halloween and had their Halloween party. More recently they have been focusing on the theme of Remembrance. The Brownies learned about why the symbol of a poppy is used and what remembrance means. In the coming weeks we will be trying out more creative activities from the new programme for Girlguiding. We will also be making some Christmas cards for friends and family.
