Snow

It seems the snow has given me a little space. Presbytery has been cancelled and so I have some time to catch up with my diary. I notice that it has been weeks since I last posted anything and a lot has been happening.
On the technical front we now have projectors being used every Sunday at the Roundchurch as part of our service. We have not had to buy or install screens because we have found that projecting onto the wall, left and right of the pulpit works well. St Johns also now has a screen installed that we can raise or drop as necessary in the services.
Sunday Club changes are working well at the Roundchurch and we have formed a new team at St. Johns which will start afresh with our young people in the New Year.
The Roundchurch has been painted inside and out, thanks to the Distillery! We have also started the long journey towards sorting out our buildings issues at St Johns.
With our Alpha Courses starting in January it is clear that it is going to be a busy but hopefully fruitful New Year.
So, the snow has given me space... but we have to rememeber that for many it has brought considerable headaches! One friend living near Edinburgh said they have had 40 inches so far - that is a LOT of snow. However, perhaps we need reminders to go a little slower especially at a time of year which usually brings lots of extra pressures to our lives. The Christmas child who became the man Jesus, is also the Prince of Peace. I am glad about that because his peace is one of his most wonderful and gracious blessings. Peace to all of my many friends and family this Christmas! :)
