July Prayer Prompts
Since the beginnings of time people have asked, ‘Is there a God?’ And if there is, what’s he like?’ Here we have the answer: JESUS IS GOD! Why not take some time to dip in to one of the Gospels and remind ourselves of the amazing love and power he showed in his brief time on Earth? – For he offers us the same gifts now, just as fully, through the Holy Spirit.  [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 more, and the option to object please click here

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.
New CH4 Hymnary
A words only version of the new CH4 hymnary is now available, joining the full music and large print versions. Price of the new words only is £10.80. The large print is £18.00. All versions available for purchase in the Church. The Guild donated 30 copies of Large Print versions which are available in the church.

Girls Brigade
The 42nd Company Penicuik is now on line within the Division Website at  http://girlsbrigade.midlothian.users.btopenworld.com/42ndEL.htm
