Some photos from the gathering of the Diocese General Synod reps preparing for General Synod this week.

They enjoyed a lovely night of music in St Serf’s. As part of their Building Community project, they welcomed Fife Ukulele Orchestra.

The Drop In Group enjoyed an interesting discussion led by one of the members on Rogation days, challenges for food producers and the environment. We interspersed this with prayers from the Irish Franciscans for blessing our land and crops.

Kilmaveonaig church had a stall at Blair Atholl Games. A busy day!

The theme at Nitekirk this month was ‘By the shoreline’. This regular monthly quiet space allows time for reflection, contemplation and creativity too if you should so wish.

Episcopalian teddy bears were invited to the teddy bears picnic at the cathedral. They had a fantastic time playing games, singing songs, and of course, eating delicious picnic food!!

Both churches took  part in a bring-and-share lunch that recognised the contribution made to their fellowship by Deacon Elizabeth Harfleet over the three years she had been with them. Jean and Gwyneth marshalled the splendid eats, much enjoyed by the 40+ people who stayed after the service, after which Sue and Mary presented flowers.

We are so proud of our YF who travelled to Arbroath to lead their worship, sharing their enthusiasm and faith with the congregation

Members of the congregation had a wonderdul retreat day at The Bield in Blackruthven. We were blessed with glorious weather & great hospitality.

Bishop Ian joined representatives from Burntisland, Inverkeithing and Aberdour to bless the new Rectory built on spare land next to St Columba’s in Aberdour. Afterwards he addressed members of the St Andrews West Area Council who met in the Church.
