News from the Church of Scotland

The Church of Scotland produced a series for Advent, here are three I liked.

For this year’s Advent calendar, we’re bringing back a regular Kirk member favourite — The Shoes Brothers. This year, their uplifting tune is called ‘All In This Together’ and they hope that it will inspire our communities to come together again and grow in mental, physical, social and spiritual resilience after a difficult period of COVID-19 restrictions.

Rev Louise Purden, minister of Bonnyrigg Parish Church in Midlothian, sings a special ballad she has written to celebrate the light in the darkness as we contend with the battle through life.

Rev Andrea Boyes, minister of Durness and Kinlochbervie Parish in the far north of Scotland, is the proud owner of a flock of sheep and is a shepherd in more ways than one.
