After 10 years of experimenting with a monthly multimedia worship service in 2007 we took a year out to reflect and consider how we can best re-engage our experience and expertise in this area. We’ve come up with a concept that we think could be used my a much wider alliance of Christians to help [...]

I wrote about structures a few weeks ago. I think we need to realise that changing the structures alone, will not change the church. Tomorrow night at Kirk Session will be quite an important evening. The Kirk Session re-structing group will be reporting back. The plan is that they will give out the papers for [...]

Yesterday well over 1000 people walked the Forth Road Bridge to raise money for Christian Aid. I’m told if all the money is collected that has been promised from the sponsors,it will amount to £41,000. What I say is, not bad for an afternoon’s work. It was also an opportunity for folk to reflect on [...]

We had our second ‘Alpha Night’ at the Inchyra last night. There was a good mix of people from different backgrounds and I’m sure its going to be once again an interesting life changing experience for a number of people. Our theme last night asked the question” Why did Jesus die?” It is an opportunity [...]

I’ve been put on a committee at Presbytery level to look at how our Presbytery can work in a better way to promote and facilitate our congregations .Here’s an extract from the paper I’m writing. Any comments will be gratefully received. The above picture gives another meaning to cathedral. Making Presbytery a place of inspiration… [...]

We’ve got a house guest staying with us. It’s Ben he’s quite a character. He’s always hungry, and if you’re not careful, he’ll even eat food out of the bin. He’s a big hit with the staff in the church. He knows that chocolate Labradors can wrap most Scottish people round their paws. However I [...]

Bo’ness Town Hall was the scene of a christian conference today. It was attended by people from all over Scotland. Kenny Borthwick , the minister at Wester Hailes, Edinburgh, spoke powerfully tonight. He said that he believed one of the things that held back revival was the lack of grace in the Christian Church among [...]

Later on today hundreds of people will be descending upon our little town for the “Father’s Heart Conference”. Ken Whitelaw the local Apostolic Church Pastor has worked hard to bring this event to the town. I wish him well and hope that the whole day is a great success. Last year I visited the Clan [...]

it was good to see a whole new Alpha Group start tonight, at the Inchyra Hotel near Polmont. I think this is going to be a really good group. Everyone who came along seemed really interested. Its such a relaxing venue with everyone seated around the table. I’ve often likened it to Martin Luther’s table [...]

Just wanted to say thank you to everyone who helped tonight down at the church. Great to see all the comments on the blog about the service. It was also encouraging to see Stuart Sharp the minister of St John’s Camelon with us tonight. Stuart is interested in finding ways where we can work together. [...]
