We Can All SEE Christmas lights in a new LIGHT
I think the labrynth at St Andrew's Parish Church Bo'ness is one of the most spectacular Christmas Light experiences you will ever come across. It was written by Maggie Lane who was our probationer minister during Christmas 2006. A team of people still run with it and have created quite a wonderful Christmas encounter. It was designed to encourage us to make a journey to follow the star like the wise men of old to find the child i the manger who is the Saviour of the world.
there will be different stations for you to stop at on the journey giving you an opportunity to participate, to think, to pray. Music will accompany you on your journey. You will be given an MP3 player to guide you through your journey. the journey can be done 15 minutes or it can take you longer depending on how long you choose to stay at each station.
Word has got out this year and I believe we had a a good number of people going through the experience yesterday. So if your reading this and you can get over to Bo'ness between 2pm-4pm and 6pm -8pm today then I believe it will be an experience you'll remember for a long time. The thing I find encouraging about this is to see people of all ages going through the labyrinth. If I can get a hold of one of the tracks from the MP3 player I include it in my next post.
On other thing, I said I'd mention something about the other projects in India. take a moment to pray for those who suffer from the dreaded disease of leprosy. Mount Zion Church in Chennai have been helping a group of people who suffer from leprosy who live together in a colony outside the city. Its about 40 miles from their church but they go every second week with food and money to help them. Last year you may recall we had an appeal in the town of Bo'ness to send them blankets. Please keep this group of people in your prayers this Christmas. We sent £400.00 on Monday for the support of this community. A small amount but it wil go a long way to feed people with rice this Christmas.
