Anyone who eats this bread will live forever."
A Concert by the Glasgow Phoenix choir to mark the 25th anniversary of the opening of the church building—Our year long series of liturgical and social events to mark the 25th anniversary of the church building will culminate in a gala performance in the church at 7.30 on the evening of Sunday 17th June by The Glasgow Phoenix Choir. The choir is one of the foremost and longest established choral groups in the UK. There will also be songs and music from the children of St Andrews Primary School. Tickets, priced at £10, £7.50 for concessions and children being free can be ordered on the ticket hot line on 07543 628 909. Your support of this event will be greatly appreciated .
We hope that any additional funds made from the occasion will be able to be donated to Mary’s Meals. Please be sure to come and support this very worth while charity. We feel that this will be a fitting conclusion to our year of celebration.

Glasgow Midwives—Mary Doogan and Connie Wood are senior midwives who were working in a supervisory role in the Southern General Hospital. For many years they were able to carry out their work without compromising their conscientious objection to abortion. However, the hospital management recently re-interpreted the conscience clause of the Abortion Act and said, among other things, that senior midwives were not allowed to object to supervising the work of other midwives performing abortion. Mary and Connie took their case to the Court of Session but the judge ruled in favour of the hospital management. With the support of SPUC, Mary and Connie are to appeal that decision. There are two things which you can do to help Mary and Connie. Firstly, there is a petition to the Nursing and Midwifery Council calling on them to support and actively defend the right of midwives and nurses who do not believe in abortion to work in their profession, including senior and supervisory roles, without being required to compromise their deeply-held beliefs. There are petition forms which you can sign on the table in the entrance to the church. Secondly, you can sponsor four people who are attempting to climb three mountains in one day to help raise the money to pay for Mary and Connie’s legal expenses. Again, there is a form on the table which you can use to indicate your assistance in sponsoring the climb. If anyone would like their own petition or sponsorship forms please contact Mike Ryan, 942 1481.
