HeartEdge Introductory Day: St John’s Parish Church Hamilton

The most recent HeartEdge Introductory Day took place in Scotland at St John’s Parish Church Hamilton. 

As is usual on these occasions, the programme began with Sam Wells speaking about biblical approaches to money and the ways these impact on mission and ministry. Liz Crumlish, Co-ordinator for the Path of Renewal in the Church of Scotland, Doug Gay, Lecturer in Practical Theology at University of Glasgow, and George Whyte, Principal Clerk of the General Assembly of The Church of Scotland, gave responses to Sam’s presentation.

The mood lightened with the opening bars from the Heart and Soul Swing Band who shared their music, in addition to sharing about their ministry which is providing new musical resources to Church of Scotland congregations while raising funds for the Church of Scotland HIV Programme. 

More examples of the 4 Cs followed as we heard about Coffee, cake and colouring at St John’s Hamilton, The Wild Olive Café at St George’s Tron, Hyzone Youth Project – Hamilton’s Youth Project, and Drama Kirk at Hamilton Old Parish Church. 

The day ended with reflections from Susan Brown, Moderator of the General Assembly of The Church of Scotland.
