David, Janice and Lis were left speechless as the joint congregations of St Anne’s, St Catharine’s and St Ninian’s combined to give them a big “thank you” for all their work during the time without a rector. By the end of the service Lis had got her act together enough to insist on a group photo!

People gathered from across the diocese for our diocesan study day on ‘Using Music for Refreshing Worship’. This was planned as training for clergy, lay readers, and anyone in congregations involved in leading music in worship. We met at Holy Trinity, Stirling, to learn more about ways of enhancing our worship with music, to spend time in fellowship and to join in midday prayer in the church. Many thanks to Christoph and Alistair for their work in organising this day.
