To thank Charlie for all his service to the community, Sue Greensmith, Stuart Robertson and many others decided that his retirement would not go without a proper farewell from all his many friends in the area. A surprise presentation was organised at Cushnie Hall... Click Here

As the clocks go forward and we thought our sledges and snow shovels were away for another year, the snow comes back with a vengance..
On Friday 2nd April at 8am a walk with the Cross will be starting off at St Andrew's Church Alford, ending with the cross being erected on Beltie Hill, behind Co-op.
Easter Time
Young and old walk slowly on
In the gentle Alford Breeze,
They raise a cross on Beltie hill
By the side of the tall pine trees.
On another hill, long years ago,
On a cross, our Saviour died,
A crown of thorns upon his head,
A spear thrust through his side.
Despair of friends turned into joy
On that fi rst Easter Day
As the ever-faithful women found
The tombstone rolled away.
Now amid the fl owers of spring
We remember that day still
As children watch their Easter eggs
Go tumbling down a hill.
What a wonderful way to remember
That must surely be –
“Suffer the little children
and let them come to me.”

On Friday 2nd April 2010 - our "Good Friday" united evening service took place at 7.30pm at Cushnie Church.
There was plenty of good will being shown by Alastair Smart as he made light work of the snow in the car park.
Using a Manitou with great skill he moved tonnes of snow in order that the congregation could get up to the church and park safely - definitely "A Smart" way to shuffle snow..
The Cushnie and Tough Church Annual Meeting will take place on Sunday 4th April 2010, immediately following the Easter Sunday joint Service of worship at Tough Church.
Christian Aid Week falls on the 9th - 15th May 2010. We still require volunteer collectors to cover the Cushnie and Tough area.
In past years our contribution to the Donside collection has been very worthwhile. Please pass on names to our Session Clerk.
