The Lord’s Prayer has much to teach us about the character and nature of God. Recently I’ve been thinking how relevant the phrase “forgive us our debts’ is for all of us as we approach Christmas. Here’s a video we made a couple of years ago. It has something to say to us in the middle of a credit crunch or should I say recession. ForgiveUsOurDebts.mov

A few weeks ago I made a post about our Remembrance Garden. Well its beginning to take shape. We’re going to have a little service to start the proceedings. Please note the remembrance theme will run for a week. then it will revert back to being a flower garden.

On Tuesday 4th November at 11.00am we’ll plant the first crosses. It will be interesting to see how many crosses appear in the garden. You will be able to buy a cross from the church office for the princely sum of £1.00 then move out and plant the cross in the garden. All proceeds will go to the Earl Haig Fund.

I spoke of the idea of Remembrance today at Bo’ness Academy, I hope that the pupils will get involved in some way with the project. Wouldn’t it be great if we could send a letter to all the ex Academy pupils who are present serving in the forces to let them know we’re thinking on them and praying for them and also their families. I wonder if the Bo’ness Journal would help us find out how many Bo’nessians are at present serving Queen and Country?
