Whose Word is it Anyway?
Drama Kirk presents an evening of improvised comedy, based on biblical stories, in Hamilton Old Parish Church on Friday 1 November at 7pm. This promises to be a fun evening, where teams from Hamilton’s churches will compete in a series of drama games. You as the audience can decide what scenes will be improvised...but you may well see them as never before! Come along, support your church, raise some funds for Drama Kirk and enjoy laughter and fellowship. If you would like to help out on the evening please speak to Bill Craig or Liz Blackman. Tickets £5 (with refreshments on sale at the interval) are on sale after the service in the Pillar Hall. Please see George Robertson.
A New Star
Drama Kirk will once more be part of Hamilton’s Reindeer Parade on Saturday 7 November, where we will tell the story of the nativity from the perspective of the Christmas Star.

Rehearsals begin on Sunday 3 November in the North Hall from 2pm till 9pm; they then continue each Tuesday at 7pm in the sanctuary. All are welcome, old friends and new!
