June 24 Forest Church
We met in June as Forest Church to take part in some “Flow” activities. Here is a slide show as a reminder – and an invitation to those who are able to join us.
Presence
The Holy Spirit is described as a comforter. This is a short video with a collection of images to remind us of the presence of the Holy Spirit in our everyday lives. These pictures are particularly effective when they pop up on Facebook and other feeds like “The Unvirtuous Abbey” which peppers digital diet with […]
Birdsong
This was sent in on our glimmers group. There have been a few posts recently of people simply enjoying their gardens, listening to the birds.

The Nights are getting longer and darker, and the trees are drawing into themselves, letting go of their fruit and leaves. Seeds are buried […]

Sunday at Kirkcudbright Art and Crafts trail. It was a busy day, with three of us working all the time. Since it was so busy, there have been less words written to describe it! – no rain so we were able to put up the bunting and have the tent fully open with the chairs […]
