Dull & FOrtingall...

30/6/2018

0 Comments

 
Today we made our way out beyond Aberfeldy to distribute Good News Postcards to homes in the small villages of Dull and Fortingall. Dull has been in the news in the past year due to its unusual and slightly unfortunate name, but it certainly didn't live up to it today as Perthshire continued to enjoy scorching sunshine!

Fortingall is another interesting little place. Within the churchyard lies what is believed to be one of the oldest trees in the world, a Yew tree dating back several thousand years. According to legend, Fortingall was also the birthplace of one of the most important characters in the Bible, the Roman Governor, Pontius Pilate, who ultimately sentenced Jesus Christ to death by crucifixion.

It is thought that his father was a high-ranked Roman diplomat who had traveled to Scotland on business and married a local woman who gave birth to their son, Pilate, in Fortingall. When confronted with Christ 2000 years ago, Pilate asked the question each one of us must ask ourselves, "What will I do then with Jesus Christ?" It is a question which undoubtedly divides humanity, decides eternity and demands urgency as we consider it today.

Murthly, Bankfoot, REDGORTON...

28/6/2018

It was possibly the hottest day Perthshire has enjoyed for decades, so we made the most of it... we found ourselves melting in Murthly, boiling in Bankfoot and roasting in Redgorton as we distributed several hundred Good News Postcards!

We also stumbled across a small area of houses called 'Nineveh' on the outskirts of Murthly which caught our attention! Nineveh was of course a very significant city in Bible times and was located near modern day Mosul, in Iraq. The prophet Jonah was sent to Nineveh to warn the people that if they continued to disobey God they would face His judgement. Jonah refused to go first of all, but after a dramatic detour which involved being swallowed by a great fish, he eventually made his way to Nineveh. The people of the city heeded the warning and turned from their wicked ways and so the city was spared.

​The message of God for us today is similar - if we continue to disobey God we will face His judgement, however because God loves us and sent His Son to die for our wrongdoings on the cross, if we are willing to turn from our wicked ways and trust in Jesus Christ, God promises to spare us (and more than that, bless us with a home in Heaven!)

Let's Talk - Methven

6/6/2018

We're excited about being back in Methven this month, for three very special evenings in The Little Acorn Cafe on Main Street.

Let's Talk is an opportunity for people to think about and talk about some of the big questions of life that they normally don't find time to consider seriously.

Each Friday evening event will run from 7.30-8.30pm during which we'll have a short, illustrated presentation, followed by a Question & Answer session and time to chat informally in the friendly and relaxed atmosphere of the cafe. Refreshments will be served throughout the evening, free of charge.

The subjects are:
Friday 15th June: The Origin of Life - where did we come from?
Friday 22nd June: The Purpose of Life - why are we here?
Friday 29th June: The End of Life - what happens next?

Everyone is made very welcome. No need to book a place - just turn up on the night. Free transport is available within Methven and from Perth.

For further details, please get in touch.
