Sanctuary First - Godcast

Sanctuary First is doing some really exciting web-based stuff. The mastermind behind it all is Albert Bogle - entrepreneur, visionary and ex-St Silasite. His family were stalwarts of the congregation. The Piskies lost a great gift when he defected to the Kirk!

We've considered partnering with them, but we are still pursuing what we believe God wants us to do in terms of innovation. Nonetheless, I've worked a wee bit with them (as have many church leaders in Scotland, cos Albert stuck us all in front of the camera and told us to tell stories!). There's a contribution from yours truly on this clip:

Monday Morning Motivation: The Hours - Ali in the Jungle

A song for Monday morning motivation:

Things That Go Wrong..........and Right

Lost my favourite Spyder bunnet (annoying as it is now freezing). Lost a glove at the lacklustre Satan's XI match yesterday (some will say that was justice for even attending it). Technology wouldn't play this morning (no sound on video). Lots of other niggles and aggravations.

Still, the word is that the church heating should be up and running this week, thanks to the kick-backside attitude of a certain gentleman in the congregation. A good men's breakfast yesterday with Stu Weir helping us to think about the spirituality of work.  Lots of overseas students enjoying hospitality  this morning too. Plus we had Ralph Lee visiting us from Ethiopia, and he always cheers me up - he and Sarah are working with the Navigators and doing some interesting work with the Orthodox Church there. They've only been going for seventeen hundred years or so (the Church that is, not the Lees).
