All rested, refreshed and all the other ‘re’ words after a wee holiday, we’re now back at the helm. So good to be back (not that the holiday was bad, its just good to be back!) Spent the week in a place I used to go as a child. In lots of ways, lots of … More Back from hols

I was able to continue on my ‘Grand Church Tour’ this morning with a visit to the United Free Church of Scotland (Continuing)…don’t forget the continuing. The service was attended by around 50 people, mainly ederly with only one or two younger faces. The minister was cheery and his sermon was biblical, Jesus centred, although … More The Grand Church Tour continues..
We’re working out one of those odd tensions at the moment. We have a corps building, a faily new one (only 17 years old) and its a good facility, in a decent state of repair, and is reasonably accessible for many in the community, geography wise.

Still…come Tuesday (maybe even Monday) we’ll be residents of our flat above the hall in Torry. ————— Had another great wee meeting tonight. Our folks really get themselves involved in the … More Fit like?
So, we were ‘plumbed in’ at Torry this evening (mornings just don’t happen for the vast majority of people in our community). I was so happy I thought I could burst. If you want to worship with a group of open, honest, maybe even raw kinda salt-of-the-earth types, Torry is the place to come. Stripped … More Plumbed in!
…well, not quite Torry! We haven’t yet been able to move into our quarters above the hall because its being decorated and all sorts, but we have indeed arrived in Aberdeen. We’ve living in a very nice location in the posh bit of town but hopefully we’ll be moving in to Torry in the next … More First Epistle from Torry
We can be very comfortable in the church in accepting the role of the pastor, teacher and evangelist. To some extent we’re content with the prophet until he/she says something we don’t like, but the apostolic ministry is something many of us have trouble with or simply don’t recognise. There are three sense in which … More Sent
