Registered Scottish Charity No SC001372
Now available … a new illustrated children’s story book, set in a bus depot in the Scottish Borders, by an author mysteriously entitled “CA Graham” … a “50-something grandad … whose day job is as a Bible teacher” . Hmmm.
Meet Big Alex, Old Crossley, Minnie, Dennis and Solomon and share their adventures. One of the stories was used at the Christmas Eve service in Ancrum last year. If you would like an autographed copy, you can order one in church any Sunday, price £10, of which £2 goes to church funds. This would make a nice stocking filler for young children at Christmas time. For more details see :
