Scone and St Martins Parish Church

We will all have heard that Churches are now closed until the end of January. There-after the situation will be reviewed. A Service is posted on this website. Just click on to the button above, this week marked 17^th January. This week our presentation is different in style. Read the short preamble when you click on. Our theme this week more thoughts in the Season of Epiphany and is based on the Readings for the Day with various prompts and aids to thought.

Please note that the first run off of our Recipe Books was sold out prior to Christmas but we have had some more printed and a few of these are still available from Mike Moir, 01738 551549, at £7.50. To post out there is an additional charge. You may also be interested in a new feature or two coming on to our website. Some of our members are offering tasty and economical recipes for the cold days of winter. Next week we will have an additional button on the Main Page of this site that you can click into. We think these might be worth looking out for! And the Recipe Book has captured many!

Now some ideas to keep positive:

Get your injection against the virus and celebrate and give thanks.
Engage with the Season of Epiphany.
Did you know we had extra recipe books run off? We still have a few of these. Phone Mike Moir if you would like some more.
Be sure to have your haggis etc on Burns Day.
Enjoy Valentine’s Day – look up on the web the 4 Greek words for Love and celebrate the Greek’s inclusiveness.
It would be good to think we would be open on Mothering Sunday. It will be interesting to tune into the advice given for these festivals on radio and TV!
Now, consider seedlings and bringing on bulbs. I have a service for a spring earth blessing, so you could prepare your plant pot for it.
An interesting fundraiser could be a marmalade marathon. Is this not the time for marmalade oranges? We could create a variety of marmalades to be sold when the time is right.
Look up your diary and mark in Shrove Tuesday. Perfect your pancake making in advance.
Look up the dates of Palm Sunday, Holy Week, and Easter. Mark them in.

Keep in touch with this website! We’ll be in touch. You are thanked for 2020. You really did so well. I’m sure there is good to look forward to in 2021.

God bless, Maudeen.
