Northesk Guild meets every second Wednesday, at 2 pm, starting on 25
September 2024. This year, we are pleased to welcome into our fold
members of the former St Andrew’s High Guild and we will gather together in fellowship, prayer, learning and fun. This year we celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Guild Link with Wardie Church, Edinburgh and we look forward to welcoming our friends from there in October (and we will visit them probably early in 2025).
The Guild’s 3-year strategy is ‘Let’s Build a House’ and the theme for the first year is ‘Sure Foundations’ - which we will look at throughout our year, and develop in our own ways.
We continue to raise funds for the Guild projects. This year, we are
supporting Unida -‘Hear our Voice’ - in Brazil and also Crossreach which
supports vulnerable families at Sunflower Garden in Edinburgh and Daisy
Chain in Glasgow.
Later in the year, we will formally join the Edinburgh and Lothians Guilds
Together as part of the Guild’s national re-structuring. We already benefit
from the links with other Guilds through meetings, training sessions and
exchange of information.
