Sunday night at the Theatre garden

150 came out to the "churches together" service.
A bit tight for set up time but it was a good service. The sing by way of solos and the congregation was tip top. A team approach meant the whole setup was taken down packed and replaced in little time.

Pitlochry Festival Theatre

And here it is nestling behind some cottages Pitlochry Festival Theatre.

Toffee and fudge single nought wafer.

Lovely day looking forward to the service in the Theatre garden on Sunday.

Hope there is not rain or midges!

Before the summer!


The green that we are experiencing at this time is exceptional . Usually the green has dried to orange and yellow. I wonder if the tree leafs will fall quicker this year due to their weight? or are we in for an indian summer.
Today in North Perthshire it is warm bright and a breeze. Must go down to the theatre and get an ice cream. Summer days.....

God tube psalm 23

Helicopter view of things

I recall the Rev Bob Jones in a sermon some 30 plus years ago talking in terms of the choppy sea and when one is in the sea things look bad. Yet from the helicopter view, the rescuer sees a different aspect all together. Some times we as humans can be taken up with the current situation and forget to look at the helicopter view of things. In the fullness of time it might not look so bad.

Now from Gods view, where there is no time it looks even smaller. So next time it looks a bit daunting try and see it from the helicopter view.

Printing to culture change

It is not a simple matter of the church re branding. The changes in culture have been too great for a change in “window display”. Recall the printing press and the education of the community linked to the church. The corresponding requirement for an engaging church in the community that is not a sub-culture but is or changes the culture is clear. This has not to be a liberal or compromising stance but rather relevance rediscovery and in fact more biblically based mission. The “Hillsongs” mega churches might not survive even if they don't ever make an impact in Scotland.
The church needs to be looking at ways to deal with those who want to be submerged in the culture and not seen to be different from others and to the individualists who make a stand on his or hers pet conviction. A tough task. Yet I think there are those being groomed by God for the job.

Answers in Genesis

Found the website very interesting in defending the faith....

Is this the nature of the new church?

How many give over this perception?
