Things are beginning to hot up this week in the church office. We’re planning quite a lot of activities over the next few weeks. And of course once again its my favourite week. You’ve guessed it “On the Street” has to be organised for Sunday. The theme this month is ‘Dancing on the Street” it seemed good at the time some six month’s ago, when planning out the themes. Well, no doubt we’ll come up with something. I’ll spare you the details on the blog.

May Elections

All the invitations are out to the local Councillors and prospective MSPs, to join us for a “hustings” here in the church on the 1st May. Its important that we encourage people in the community to get out and vote on the 3rd of May.

On Thursday I’m in London to meet up with the Chaplain General and Senior Officers of the forces to talk about how we can share some of the ideas of Church Without Walls with those who are in the forces.

Friday Night is Ceilidh Night here in Bo’ness. We’re hoping to raise quite a lot of money for our forth coming visit to India. A team of 12 people from the congregation are off to Chennai for two weeks to develop the relationship we have with three of our partner churches in South India.

At a more practical level, we are also getting organised to attend the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, starting 19th May, we have the contract to stream out all the Sessions live on the internet. may is going to be so busy because we have Paul Clark from Union Biblica visiting us. Paul will be the guest of the Vine Trust, as he tours round Scotland meeting the various congregations and organisations that have supported the work in peru over the past years. If your intertested in hearing more about the work of the Vine Trust, why not visit with us here in Bo’ness on the 20th may, when we will have Paul as our guest speaker at both services.
