  • Carols at the Tron

    The Presbytery of Glasgow are having a Carol Service in St George’s Tron on Sunday afternoon.

    Details below
    —————————–
    Please support this if you are able. From the Presbytery Clerk of Glasgow.

    I am pleased to say that a Presbytery Carol Service will be held in St George’s Tron Church of Scotland, Buchanan Street on Sunday 23rd December at 3pm. The guest preacher will be Rt Rev Albert Bogle, Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland. I would appreciate it if you could publicise this service as widely as possible, by written and verbal intimation (suggested wording below),
    encouraging members of your congregation to come and share in this service.

    It would be good to show that the living church has not left the building as the former Tron tried to publicise but that the living gospel is alive and well all over Glasgow.

    Very Rev Bill Hewitt

    I rarely read blogs where I cannot comment – and yes I am a chatterbox on line as well as in real life.

    I blog because there are things I long to share – which is not to say they are things others long to read. I do sometimes wonder what others make of a mix of family weddings, current church controversies, sheep keeping and hairdressers.

    I can’t do strip tease – the most I can manage is keeping a one piece bathing costume on. (There is a dated phrase for you!)

    I do so wish there was more conversation on my blog. I know how many daily hits I get, but am not sure how many readers that equates to – more than I used to preach to, that is for sure.

    I am heartened by how many who do not have strong church connections read your blog, Kelvin, mine and Kimberly’s.

    But more than anything else I want to show that Christianity is a part of the lives of ordinary people, who have sheep and hairdressers (you don’t have both – you don’t have a hairdresser??) and do not, not subscribe to every idiocy believed by extremists on either side.

    I rarely comment on blogs, but perhaps you’re right and it’s part of the experience, to conect and open up. I enjoy your blog since I found it, the first church leader’s blog I’ve come accross. It often seems some church people just don’t use this medium, which just cuts them off further from the world many of us live in. Your refeshing view on topics also makes it a must go to.

  • Fresh bread

    Following my lamentation at Lammastide (1 August) that I did not have any fresh bread in the house, I have borrowed a breadmaker from someone who is in a household where the Atkins diet holds sway.Thus, I awoke this morning to the smell of fresh bread wafting through part of the house. This loaf, the…

  • Lochearnhead & Strathyre

    The pictures o­n the television of people being airlifted from their cars o­n the road north of Strathyre are dramatic. I came down that road earlier in the week in the most frightening thunderstorm. Stair-rods from heaven and thunder to shake the mountains.

  • Preaching

    I've no doubt that today's sermon felt like hard work to some people. It was hard work thinking about it. That particular piece from the gospel is very difficult to read in public and expect people to accept at face value. It is important that there is no pretence that everything is straightforward in a…
