Afternoon Tea
Summer weather in Penicuik is always something of a hit or miss,
something to do with the Pentland Hills I'm told. Saturday 2nd
August was one of those days.
Undeterred the ladies put on a summer afternoon tea, with stalls
selling goodies and baking. The garden
was open so everyone was free to take in the sunshine, on the odd
occasion it blessed us with its presence!

August Prayer
Prompts
We are never on our own. And here’s the proof – Jesus offers
to come into our lives and help us. All we have to do is ask
him in. He offers to share our burdens and to bring us through
the problems and trials we inevitably encounter in life. Is
there anything making you seriously worried or upset? Jesus
promises to share that with you and help you through it,
whatever it is. [more] |

Water Rates
Exemption
For many
years, the Church of Scotland has enjoyed exemption from
paying water and sewerage charges. The Scottish Government is
proposing to abolish this exemption, which would put an
extreme financial burden on St. Mungo's Church. To find out

Pray Now -
Daily Devotions
Available in the
Church vestibule, priced £5.00. Pray Now 2008 offers a sampling of how we may
read some of the Scriptural resources. There is a gentle insistence that
with Scripture before us, the reading task must engage us. As
has been famously remarked, the books of the Bible read us as
much as we read them, and the stories therefore are not so
much long, long ago and far, far away as surprisingly relevant
to our personhood. We do well to linger with the thoughts they
evoke. Prayer, after all, is the readiness for God to
communicate with us, and not simply time for us to do all the
talking. |
