In his blog, Neil Harrison highlights the importance of stories, outlining 10 top tips for telling the story of how Jesus has transformed your life.

Postcard from Jordan: When two or three are gathered...

In his fourth ‘postcard’ from Jordan, where he is on his oversea tour, the Moderator, Dr Charles McMullen, shares some of the pitfalls of being an enthusiastic builder of relationships in a different culture and how things can sometimes get lost in translation, but how the presence of God will always transcend mere language.

So, what's new?

In his blog, David Thompson takes a look ahead to the start of the new church year in September, highlighting a number of newly launched PCI resources designed to support and equip individuals and congregations as they seek to develop worship, prayer and discipleship in their churches.

Piece by piece

In her blog, Charlotte Stevenson considers how difficulties that can arise on the farm or in life can often feel overwhelming. Reflecting on her granddaughter's attempt to finish a jigsaw, she encourages us to face these challenges one piece at a time, trusting in our God who 'gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak'.

Foundations

In her blog, Ruth Bromley introduces the new Youth and Children’s Project for 2018/19, ‘Foundations’, which will raise money for projects in both Pakistan and Ireland, teaching children the importance of building their faith upon the rock of Christ.
