The post continued, highlighting the church’s community involvement: “As a community church we love Dennistoun, running a weekly football group for men, English classes for refugees, and hosting the Dennistoun Diggers garden, to name a few things. We’re shocked and saddened that this has happened. Any help around this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to read.”
