March Prayer Prompts
Jesus
said, ‘I
will never turn away anyone who comes to
me.’ (John, chap.6, verse 37).
Isn’t that utterly
amazing? It’s the core of the Gospel – that God
himself, in
his love, accepts us as we are if we just come to him. It’s
not
complicated. [more] |

Sponsored
Slim
The Penicuik for Africa group launched a sponsored slim on
Saturday 13 February, as part of its campaign to re-open the rural
midwifery school in Chitambo, Zambia. Group chairman Dr Neville Suttle
said the sponsored slim is to be modelled on the ITV programme
Celebrity Fit Club. "Contestants", either in teams of four, or
individuals, will have six weeks to meet their target weight loss. The
final check will take place at St. James the Less on Sat 27 March.
Teams from prominent local institutions, including pubs, supermarkets
and churches, have been invited. The sponsored slim builds on the
group's successful project to purchase an ambulance for Chitambo
Hospital. If you would like to join contact Neville Suttle 673819, or

Auchencorth Windfarm
Public Inquiry
After nearly
two weeks the Public Inquiry into the Auchencorth Wind Farm Proposal
had addressed issues covering Landscape, Peat,
Hydrology, Ecology, Ornithology,
Tourism,
Transport, Construction and noise aspects of the proposed scheme, i.e. 14
turbines each 100 metres (300 feet) high.
The Inquiry follows an
appeal by EoN to the rejection of the proposed scheme on Auchencorth
Moss by Midlothian Council. Several parties, including Penicuik
Environmental Protection Association (PEPA) supported the rejection. A
strong public awareness, witnessed by some 20 people in the public
gallery each day, noted by the Inquiry Reporters as unusual, helped
display the strong feelings within the community. Due to the amount of
discussion and arguments put up by all sides, the Inquiry will re-sit
on 24/25 March to complete the Planning Policy element. A site visit is
arranged for Friday 26 March, to include a visit to the Moss and
surrounding countryside. [more] |
