Dear Friends of Burnside,
This week we continue looking for shadows of Jesus in the story of Exodus, as we realise that the Tabernacle points to Jesus. We will be reading from Exodus 25:1-22

Church Finances
After our Committee meeting this week we realise that everyone has extra demands upon their finances, but it also means that Church expenses have increased significantly over the last year. We have taken a number of measures to reduce our expenditure but giving has also decreased over the last year. We have four months before the year end to address this and would ask you to prayerfully consider your response. The offering each week is received before and after the service via the plates in the vestibule or by transfer into the main Church account no. 71013858 Sort Code 95-04-28
Stained Glass Window Refurbishment
The two large circular stained glass windows have been removed for refurbishment. The Triple glazing panels have broken down and need to be replaced. Any donations towards this work can be directed to the Building Fund. Acc No. 41014986 Sort Code 95-04-28
