Guild Project PIONEERS UK Chocolate Heaven Speaker Graeme Simpson

(supporting the development of sustainable chocolate production in South East Asia.)

Chocolate Heaven is a small chocolate kitchen on a beautiful island in South East Asia, where Paul and Sarah, their children and their wider team, demonstrate the love of God to an unreached people group.

Chocolate Heaven is providing employment for chocolate makers, fair prices for local growers, producing and selling delicious chocolate in all the flavours we love— and also some wonderfully exotic ones! – and sharing God's good news with their employees and wider community whenever they have the opportunity to do so.

Project details

In the UK, Chocolate Heaven has partnered with Pioneers UK, a Christian mission organisation that focuses on bringing God's Good News to those who have never had the opportunity to hear it. Pioneers UK is partnering with Chocolate Heaven to help raise awareness of their work, to encourage people to support them in prayer, to raise much needed funds to enable them to improve and expand the business and to bring blessing and hope to the workers, their families and the local community in this part of South East Asia.

Freuchie Church of Scotland Guild Advent Party

Wednesday 7th December in the Church Hall.

Some photographs from Freuchie Church Guild's Advent party. We all had a lovely time and also raised some money for our Guild Funds. Thank you to everyone who helped make this time special.

Freuchie Church Guild is taking, with Elspeth's help, the service for 6th November at 11.15 am

The Guild is meeting this Wednesday November 2nd at 2.00pm in the Hall – the speaker that day has had to postpone his Talk – the Guild will be ‘At Home’ with an in house meeting led by ourselves - which includes an afternoon of ‘Tangible Memories’ we are asking members if they would like to bring along an object which has meant something special to them and in a few words say why – so polish your Sunday School bibles - dig those school reports out and share the memory. In fact anything tangible that you would like to share with members and guests.

OUR NEXT GUILD MEETING IS BEING HELD IN FREUCHIE CHURCH HALL, ON WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 3RD

starting at 2.00 pm

The speaker will be Sarah-Jane Latto from Fife Coast & Countryside Trust, who will be speaking about

Fife Pilgrim Way / Faith Tourism

Everyone can come along to these meetings. You will be made most welcome.

We are a Freuchie Church Group, a branch of the national Church of Scotland Guild.

Because of this, we are linked with others in a national theme each year, we are part of

significant fund-raising efforts for many worthy projects. Meetings are varied, with something

for everyone, they may be light-hearted, educational and thought provoking. They may

have speakers, or be led by Guild members, or be simply social. Events include a coffee

morning, Sunday morning worship led by the Guild, and a fundraising event for CHAS.

Each meeting begins with a short time of worship which allows deepening our

faith and end with cups of tea to deepen our fellowship with others.

ALL ARE WELCOME – Men and women of any age.

You do not have to be a member nor indeed a church member.

New syllabus is available.

At the centre of all our activities is Jesus, “whose we are and whom we serve”.
