Have you all seen the film Braveheart? Good film. There is one particular scene in the film I like. The Scottish Army are assembled and looking at their opponents, a wee bit doubtful of their chances of winning and are about to turn round when Wallace rides on with his face painted blue and white … More Freedom for Christmas
Yes, its that time again. Last year, with only having been in appointment here at Torry a few months, Christmas came too fast, and before we knew it, Christmas arrived. This year we’ve had a longer run at it. We’re still a relatively small Salvo community here, but we’re going good guns. I just wanted … More Operation Christmas!
Today has been one of those days. You know, the kind where the worst you could expect actually happens the way you expected it would, all on the day when you could have done with something much better?

It was great to encounter a high ranking man such as him with a strong, modern, evangelical and engaging message. I … More Christmas Message – Bishop Mike Hill of Bristol
Isn’t this time of the year a bit like no man’s land? Its the time of year where every day could quite easily have least the same name and you wouldn’t be any the wiser! Ah well…back to normality soon (whatever normality is!) I always feel very reflective in this no-mans-land time. My first thought … More Inter Christmas & New Year Ponderings
A few snippets for you……————————————Our band and other corps members have responded heroically to our Christmas programme again this year.

A highlight for me was at a local Christmas Fayre in Portishead…I was giving out some ”novelty” gospel tracts in the form … More Pre-Christmas Snippets
