In April 2007 we began planning for a Stewardship Campaign on the theme of Time, Talents and Treasures. Three newsletters under the title 'Inspire' were published giving details of the campaign and the programme of activity leading to the Family Meals in late February and early March 2008.
After the meals a presentation was given using DVD and Powerpoint to give an overview of life at Marchmont St Giles from Sunday to Sunday, throughout the week. Following the opening of our church centre in September 2006 our facilities have been used by a wide variety of community groups and help is required in a variety of ways to ensure that our church and church centre continue to 'tick'.
At the end of the evening a brochure and response card was distributed, the response cards have now had the replies collated and the Stewardship Team are assessing the results and will bring forward suggestions to the Kirk Session on what can be done to fully utilise the pledges of Time, Talents and Treasures for the benefit of Marchmont St Giles' Parish Church and the community it serves.
