Markinch Parish Church – ‘Trees of Memories’
Over the Christmas season, our ‘Trees of Memories’ in the church windows offer a way to remember loved ones who are no longer with us.
Add your own inscription on the reverse of the tag before hanging it on the tree before or after the morning service.
Last year more than one hundred cards adorned the trees.
Memory cards (£1) are available from the table in the church entrance. All proceeds from the ‘Trees of Memories’ are going towards the provision of a stair lift at the church gates.
