North East Edinburgh Foodbank would especially welcome donations of sugar and coffee, and ladies’ and men’s deodorants, though would be more than happy to accept other suitable items too.  

Please place your items in the box located at the main door of the church. There’s also a donation basket in the Vestibule at Larch: Leith Walk if you’re there for the Oasis of Peace or Open Doorway.

Have a look at the website to see what kinds of other donations are most useful: Edinburgh NE Foodbank

EASTER 2025

Jan my friend

reminds us to see;

“God’s pattern

and purpose –

and our part

in the weaving of the world”.

Beautiful words

embedded in Easter

true in every age,

including our own.

Each of us precious

in the world’s weaving –

people of dignity,

of tenderness,

of faith.

And this Easter

we cry out

that this would be real

for our hurting world

in its sacred beauty

and infinite goodness.

For we affirm

the mystery of God

at the heart of humanity

in all our endeavours –

drawing our global family

once more

together in love.

Peter Millar, Edinburgh, Easter 2025.
