BASKET OF HOPE

Castle Douglas Parish Church is up a hill but has some railings at the bottom which were used to let the parish know they were still up and running and that God was still part of the community during lockdown.

A ‘basket of hope’ has been attached to the railings, containing verses of hope and short prayers. Over 300 of the notes have been taken from the basket.

Minister, the Rev Alison Burnside, said: “Complete strangers with no connection to the church have come and thanked me for them.”
