Collect

O God, the strength of all those who put their trust in you, mercifully accept our prayers and, because through the weakness of our mortal nature we can do no good thing without you,  grant us the help of your grace,  that in the keeping of your commandments we may please you both in will and deed;  through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who is alive and reigns 

with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.

Amen

Roy Osborne (SCRIPTURE UNION SCOTLAND REGIONAL WORKER FOR PERTH,

 KINROSS & FIFE)  is looking for a Chief Ciook for the upcoming Scripture Union 

Camp in August (1st-8th) at Lendrick Muir, Kinross.

There will be 35 altogether, so a nice small camp, and there will be an

assistant cook to help.   Any chance someone in the churches might be open to

helping?

 

 

                                                           HOLY SPIRIT

 

 

When men and women are constrained to give themselves without reserve

to the grace and power of the Holy Spirit, when ministers, office bearers and

members alike become ‘the community of the redeemed’, not just ‘nice

people’ but ‘new men’, sensitive as never before to every call and movement

of the Spirit, the great cause which bears Christ’s name will move from its 

present periphery into the centre of things and become, as it was in the time

of the Apostles, a mighty force of revolution for God.

 

It has been said that what people are waiting for today is an ’inspiration’.

This is what they were waiting for when the Church was born.   There is no

mightier event recorded in the New Testament than the coming of the

Spirit to the disciples.   According to the Scriptures, the disciples became

changed men, and the people round about who witnessed this extraordinary

surge of new life in the disciples trembled and wondered.   They had known

nothing like it before
