The Abbey Church wishes to thank everyone who helped with the Charity Shop in July. Whether you volunteered within the shop, donated goods or bought some bargains, we greatly appreciate your generosity. The fantastic sum of £2354.40 was raised for the Abbey Church’s funds. We would also like to thank Mrs Kathleen Godfrey who gave up a whole week of her time to be there, making sure everything ran successfully.
The Charity Shop (Re-use Shop) in Coupar Angus will be collecting for the following charities:
Christian Aid – 17th – 24th May 2026
Abbey Church – 4th – 11th July 2026
Strathie Hopper – 11th – 18th July 2026
Please start looking out things you no longer want – someone else could be searching for that very item!
The retiring collection after Holy Communion in the Abbey Church came to a total of £123.63.
This is for the Scottish Charity Air Ambulance. We thank you all for your generous contributions to this wonderful cause.
The Sacrament of Holy Communion will take place this Sunday (26th April) in both churches.
