July Prayer Prompts
No, we don’t have a new Minister
yet. Let’s pray that despite disappointments God will
keep our spirits high, give us patience and guide us in the
right path. He has blessed us with John Stevenson's ministry
for a year and a half; he has a purpose for his church in
Penicuik and we are a part of it. [more] |

Sponsored Walk
The
2009 sponsored walk on 27 June got off to a good start. St. Mungo's was also
holding a Strawberry Tea on the same morning, allowing walkers the
opportunity to take refreshments before they set off on the 7.5
mile walk around Pencaitland.
Thirteen gathered outside St. Mungo's and headed off to the
beautifully well kept village of Pencaitland, where Ian Dickson
had put together a route that took us on paths that circled round
the village. [more] |

Strawberry Tea
Although the turnout for
the Strawberry Tea held on Saturday 27 June was disappointing
it was a very enjoyable morning for all who did attend.
Everyone said they enjoyed the delicious strawberry fare
served and the stalls and raffle all did well. A total of
£382.80 was raised for Church funds. The social committee wish
to thank friends who helped us to organise things on the day
and to everyone who came along. |

Pray Now 2009
Pray Now is a collection of modern prayers that can be used by
all denominations, by individuals, prayer groups and leaders
of worship. Each year, our relationship with God is explored
through a theme. This year's theme is ‘Environment’. Pray Now
gives a place to start when you feel you have no words of your
own, and prayer activities that allow time to think and space
to listen. They also prompt action and movement when the words
just don't seem enough. Available at £5.00 in the Church,
or from Bill Webster 672347
