Kirk Guild to Report Successes to 2006 General Assembly

The Church of Scotland’s Guild will report to the 2006 General Assembly next month on a number of successes as well as outline needs for the future development of the Guild and its work at home and abroad.

With the period of financial support for the Dare to Care programme due to end in June, the General Assembly will be asked by the Guild to commend its support for the projects under the programme.

Dare to Care is a unique programme operated by the Guild which brings together worship, study and project work over a three year period, with a different area of focus in each of the years.
