LAMMERMUIR PARISH CHURCH

thank you for supporting our weekend

2/6/2026

We've had a very busy weekend full of excitement and fun!

Thank you to all who prepared, ran and supported the fantastic Festival of Flowers at Humbie Kirk all weekend, and especially our Songs of Praise on Sunday afternoon. There were some fantastic voices and harmonies, all surrounded by the beautiful flowers. You can see some of the flower arrangements here. Over the weekend, more than £1,000 were raised for our church - thank you so much!

And on Saturday, our Church Fete was back in the Manse garden in Gifford, with lots of visitors, Janet's and Christine's famous cream teas, live music provided by very talented friends of our church led by Johnny and Philip, and many many games and stalls on offer. As ever, Claire and Liz did a fantastic job planning and coordinating it all, and many who were there commented on the lovely atmosphere. We raised more than £2,500 for the church - thank you all so much!

Here are a few photos of the event:

Our wonderful musicians in action.

A lot of hands - big and small - (and a horse-trailor) were needed to set it all up and tidy away again - many thanks!

On Sunday, 10th May, we met in the Village Hall in Garvald, to explore the story of Daniel in the Lions' Den.

We made lion masks, decorated Daniel and lion biscuits, made lion sock puppets and paper angels. there was also a game of 'What's the time, Mr/ Mrs Lion?', and of course, delicious macaroni cheese. Many thanks to the families who came along, and to our fabulous team!
