Amongst other things, I've been busy this week preparing talks for a Bible School in Tranemo, Sweden, that I'm taking part in next weekend. It will mean nine talks over the course of three days (six on the Gospel of Mark, two more at evangelistic-style events, and a preach on Sunday morning). It's been uplifting over the last month to be reading through a Gospel, something I've not done for a while. Part of the aim of the course is to take the participants through the whole of Mark, so that they have a thorough grasp of how to handle it, and how God might speak through it.
I fly out from Prestwick at 6.30am on Thursday and get back on Sunday afternoon.
Meanwhile, GadgetVicar Boy left this morning (with quite possibly the majority of the church - I think we'll be small in number tomorrow) for Clan Gathering. He's helping out with the Kidz team. He's camping. He has no wellies (someone told me there is a national wellie shortage?).
I'm praying for fair weather for the week:
ALMIGHTY God, our heavenly Father,
who art the author and giver of all good things;
Look, we beseech thee, in thy loving-kindness upon us:
thine unworthy servants,
and grant to us at this time such fair weather
that we may receive the fruits of the earth in their season,
to our comfort and the glory of thy holy Name;
through Jesus Christ, our Mediator and Advocate. Amen.
(from the 1912 Scottish Book of Common Prayer).
