Tonight I continued to walk down memory lane. You see if you live in Bo'ness the Fair E'een is the time when most people get out and about to visit all the various arches and frontages. Bo'ness can be a pretty busy place. It was really good top meet up with some people that I haven't seen for some time. If you have never seen the Fair it is worth visiting the town just to see the amount of work and effort that goes into the event by the whole community. Have a look at this year's Queen's Arch it is a huge birthday cake to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Children's Fair. Today I had a visitor with me from India. He is the Chairman of the St Andrew's Charitable Trust India, we have been looking at ways in which we can support a few humanitarian project in South India. As a congregation we are n the process of helping to support a number of projects in India, there is one callaed Sangita Trust. They aim to build an orhanage in the form of a village. It cost £6,000 to build one of the houses. Compare that with what is spent on the Fair and Bo'ness could be building an orphanage each year. Pray for the work in India it is challenging but we are encouraged by the progess that is taking place. In a few weeks a small team from the Church will be on their way to join with Christ the Rock Church in a children's mission in the slums of Chennai. I think it would be great if we could find some way to link the Bo'ness Children's Fair into an overseas development programme but it in India or Peru. Tell me what you think.
