"Amen, I say to you, this poor widow put in more
than all the other contributors to the treasury. 
For they have all contributed from their surplus wealth,
but she, from her poverty, has contributed all she had,
her whole livelihood.

The Piety Stall has a large selection of cards and gifts on sale for the forthcoming Sacrament of Confirmation.The full range of Christmas stock will be on sale at the Fair on 18th November but meantime there is currently a large selection of Advent calendars and candles on sale in the stall.

The St. Andrew’s Embroidery Group are creating an Embroidered Panel to celebrate the new St. Nicholas School.  The Themes of the panel are the guiding principles of St. Nicholas life, his generosity, his faith and his support for those in need.  The panel will be unveiled in the school on 6th December—St. Nicholas’ Feast Day.  There will also be a Coffee morning after 10.00 and 12.00 Masses at St. Andrew’s Church on the 18th November (which is also the morning of the Christmas Fair). The proceeds of this will go towards helping to fund the materials used to create the panel.  Please come and support the Coffee Morning.  We hope some embroiderers will be there to describe in more detail the panel and its creation.  
Thank you so much for your support.
 
Please join us at the St Andrew’s Parish Christmas Fair next Sunday 18th  November after the 10.00 am and 12 noon Masses. This will be similar to last year’s, with a selection of charities from the parish at the event. All profits from the sale of Piety Stall cards and gifts go to St Andrew’s Church funds. Tea, coffee and home baking will be served after both masses in aid of funding the materials used to create the embroidered panel to celebrate the new St Nicholas school which is being made by the St Andrew’s Embroidery Group.
 
St Andrew’s Music and Quiz Night – Saturday 24 November  Still some tickets available. Rehearsals for the pop-up choir and the “Man Choir” today Sunday at 3.00 pm and same time next Sunday.  Contact Margaret Charrier (07933713621) or Veronica McLaughlin  veronicamcl@sky.com
We are looking forward to a great night with all proceeds going to the Scottish Association for Mental Health (SAMH).
 
Important!!  -  Bearsden Bank Changes  Our local Bank of Scotland which operates our Parish accounts will close for 3 weeks on 16thNovember to reopen again on 6thDecember as a counter free and coin free branch!!!    This presents a big problem for us as a Parish insofar as the updated branch will no longer handle coin nor will it have night safe facility. Consequently all collections taken at Masses next weekend onwards will see our banking moved to the Milngavie branch where we can continue night safe facility and coin lodgement.
Clearly we will continue and are grateful to accept coin donations via the collection plate however perhaps you would consider joining our 100 or so families who already make their Church donations via monthly standing order using electronic or telephone  banking. This would assist us greatly in reducing the weight and volume of coins for banking whilst ensuring contributions are maintained.
Over the next week can you please give close consideration to how and how much you give in Church donations and if you are familiar with electronic or telephone banking you can set up your own monthly standing order at the amount you wish to donate.   Our Bank of Scotland ( Bearsden) sort code remains at 80-05-57  and the St Andrew’s Church account 00801995.
Next weekend members of our Parish Finance & Fabric team will be available at all
Masses to help with any questions and can issue paper standing order forms for anyone wishing to move to a monthly donation and are not already on automated banking.   
Many thanks and again please give this your earliest consideration.
Brian Donnelly  ( St A F & F team leader)

Asia Bibi is a Christian who spent eight years on death row in Pakistan following her conviction for blasphemy.  The accusation against her sprang from a dispute with two farm workers who refused to drink water from the same container a Christian had touched. Asia should have been released following her recent acquittal by the country’s supreme court but instead remains in custody, where there is increasing concern over her wellbeing.  Asia’s acquittal was followed by days of mob violence and renewed demands for her death. The government seems to have bowed to pressure to prevent her from leaving the country.  Please support calls that she should be free to leave Pakistan by writing to the Consulate of Pakistan, 45 Maxwell Drive, Glasgow G41 5JF
