Messy Church at st Anne’s Coupar Angus with 14 children. The theme was about the men who built their houses on rock or sand and Janice demonstrated with watering can to the delight of the children.

The rain didn’t dampen the spirits of 60 members of local churches and visitors from further afield who came together on a pilgrim walk yesterday to mark St Blane’s Day. Thank you to the Dunblane Churches Together committee for organising the event.

A group from the diocese represented the Scottish Episcopal Church at the Pride Parade in Perth.

This event was very well attended with approximately 7500 in attendance.

On Sunday 28th July St John’s Lay Reader took on a very diverse role at the 10.30 am service.

Here he was ringing the bell to call the faithful to worship.

Some of the congregation had a lovely and truly memorable morning walking the outdoor labyrinth at Backhouses. The water feature next to it is also beautiful and calming.

There were beautiful flower arrangements for the Flower Festival. Many grateful thanks to the people that created the arrangements and to the stewards who welcomed visitors to St Columba’s.

If you’d be interested in taking part in a Psalmathon, singing the whole of the Psalter in Gregorian Chant, get in touch with All Saints Church. It will take place on Saturday 10 August, from 1400 onwards

As well as being an achievement, good fun, and good for the voice and the soul, it will help us find and correct errors in the newly pointed Psalter being used at Mattins and Evensong.

St John’s Summer Gathering was blessed with great weather for a splendid picnic.
