Just a brief return to hymn tunes. This morning we worshipped at St George's Cathedral Cape Town ( itself a good tune ) and sang 'Just as I am ' to the lovely tune Saffron Walden with the line representing the hopes of many football fans and indeed promotion aspiring referees " here for a season then above "
This morning was a trip up the Doon Valley to assist the congregations in Patna and Bellsbank - Bellsbank being uniquely classified by the Scottish Government as Remote Rural
and in the 5% most deprived areas according to the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation. Some folk there with huge hearts.
Meanwhile Alloway communion this evening on cue: "Kilmarnock" got an airing though to words I'd never come across before ..
"The body has so many parts,
with each its role to fill...."
Bit of a Scotfest actually and we also had the tunes "Leaving of Lissmore" and "Maryton".
