Burning with Pride in the Garden

You know something my spirits were raise this afternoon, the gardener has turned up and cut my grass. Is this a sign of old age?  Or perhaps a sigh of relief that Mrs iTalker will be very very happy. I’m told that in the modern world of home decoration the garden has become an extension of your [...]

More faith on the Street than in the Church!

When we started out on this whole adventure of taking the message to the streets I never thought it would end up back here in Bo’ness. Yesterday was Good Friday, we took to the street with our Labyrinth and it was an amazing success just listen to how people in the streets of Bo’ness responded [...]

The Passion

We’re planning to show the “Passion” on Good Friday afternoon in the church at 2.00pm. We decided to do this because we felt that some people might find it helpful to come and sit in the quiet of the church and reflect upon the reality of Calvary.
However this film is not for the faint hearted. [...]

Do you not get it?

Well we started filming in Edinburgh this afternoon. We had quite an interesting reception. Put the table out with the bread and wine. Guess what? People stopped and read the notice. I overhead one young guy say to his pal, “that’s all about Jesus, he’s sound”. Another young woman came up to me and asked [...]
