Easter Service at New Cumnock Parish Church
All our families are warmly invited to bring your child/children for a Blessing on Easter Sunday Morning at 11am in New Cumnock Parish Church.
Children can be accompanied by their parents/carers/adult family member. If they would like to, they can be brought forward during the short service of celebration for a blessing.
Easter pictures drawn by children at the school will be on display and prizes will be handed out to children who are there. In addition books telling the Easter story will be available.
The service is designed for all ages and will last about 35 minutes.
We hope you can manage to come along on this very special day.

Members of the public residing within the area of New Cumnock Community Council will be invited to come along and vote for the candidates of their choice.

School Garden Progress – Thank you Shire Housing, NCDT and New Cumnock Community Garden Group!
Our DEN group have been working hard on their Community Partnership this session. We have worked closely with the New Cumnock Development Trust to bring about a positive change in our local community and represent ourselves as positive role models within our community, setting the same example to our peers.
We were kindly gifted £500 from Shire Housing and have used the money to buy outdoor paint which we have used to spruce up our school planter located in the New Cumnock Community Garden and to make our playground Friendship Stop bright, colourful and attractive to the pupils in our school. We have received so many compliments on it already. It really stands out in our playground and the fact that it looks so nice is making boys and girls want to visit it.
We have also used some of the money to purchase plants from the Netherthird Community Garden Group (supporting another local business). We are working closely with the New Cumnock Gardening Group who are volunteering to support us in developing our school garden. They gave us their expertise to help us pick plants which would be best for our school garden. We have spent a few days now working on our garden, making sure the soil is weed free, prepped and cultivated ready for planting. We can’t wait to show you all the finished result!
A huge thank you to each of the volunteers from the New Cumnock Community Garden Group, Alan from Shire Housing and Tammy from the New Cumnock Development Trust for your help and support with this project!
