All are welcome to join us at our Services of Worship.

Very sad news to share with you.  
Bobby Gibson, a friend to many and long-serving elder of the church,
died peacefully at home on Thursday afternoon with his family at his side.  
We give thanks to God for Bobby and his life here with us,
we praise God for the promise of eternal life and we hold the Gibson family in our prayers.

Dunlop Kirk
Sunday Open Afternoons during July, August and September 2-4pm

Everyone is very welcome to join in the morning service at 11.30 or to come along later between 2-4pm
to look round our beautiful Church. While many visitors come to see the stunning stained glass windows,
unusual to find in a small village Church, others come to enjoy a peaceful space or
are curious to see inside the building.

Alongside the Church is the A-listed Clandeyboye Hall (one of the first free schools in Scotland) and
behind it the Hans Hamilton Tomb with its marble figures of the former minister and his wife.

Our volunteers will be very happy to share their church with you and as always in Dunlop
tea, coffee and biscuits are on offer. Please do come and visit.

Food Bank donation bags are now available in both our church sanctuaries and church halls.  
As organisations return from the summer break they'll be encouraged to make use of these donation collection points.  
If you'd like to help out by collecting the donations from time to time and delivering them to the Food Banks in Barrhead and Stewarton,
please contact Alison and hopefully we can make up a rota of deliverers!  
Below a link to the Trussell Trust website so you can have a look at their campaigns and activities
to bring about structural change for the benefit of those who find themselves unable to feed themselves and their families.
