Next Sunday, following our service at 10am in Yester Church, we'll hold our Annual Congregation Meeting to note the Reports and Account for 2025, already approved by the Kirk Session on behalf of the congregation. Here you can find the narrative part of the Reports & Accounts, and for a detailed copy including the balance sheets, please get in touch with Wendy, our Treasurer. Printed copies will be available at the meeting.

We had a wonderful Coffee Morning yesterday in Humbie Village Hall. As every spring, it was a lovely occasion to come together over a cup of coffee or tea, with delicious homebaking. We had stalls offering plants, bric a brac, crocheting and home produce including cakes and biscuits, granola, jams and preserves and soup. As usual, we had a very popular raffle and tombola, and a hamper competition. We raised phenomenal £1,900.50 for the work of our church. Thank you to all the planners and helpers, at the stalls and in the kitchen, and everyone who came along and supported the event. 

On Sunday afternoon, we had our first Messy Church of the year, thinking about spring and the promise of new life at Easter in Gifford Village Hall. We had a lot of fun decorating biscuits, with great help from our teenage volunteers, painting watercolour flowers and seasonal ceramic decorations, making caterpillars and butterflies, and having our faces beautifully painted.

Then, we heard the Easter story via a wonderful lego video, and had a children's prayer with seashells and pebbles.

And then we shared a lovely supper of macaroni cheese and cake. A very joyful afternoon!
