My week at Junior Camp
Well, here I am, safely returned from a week with 41 7-12 year olds at Broomlee Outdoor centre in West Linton, Nr Edinburgh. And let me say right away - if anyone says "I told you so" they'll get told! You will know from the last blog post that I wasn't really comfortable with the week at Junior Ca…
My week ahead
This coming week, I have a week off work. Now whilst that would normally be a fantastic thing, this week has a slight edge - I will be part of the staff at The Salvation Army (East Scotland Division) Junior Camp. A residential 'fun' holiday club type week for 7-12 year olds - 45 of them!! We'll be a…
Heading away
I'm heading away tomorrow (Monday) for a few days. Not by choice! But I have been 'invited' to attend The Salvation Army's UK Social Services Conference which is being held at the Hayes Conference Centre in Swanwick, Derbyshire. I'm not a great fan of these things but am going with open mind and wi…
Roof-Breakers
This afternoon, we headed about 15 miles down the road from us to Dunfermline, home of our nearest Nandos, but more importantly, for today anyway, the venue for our first official 'Specialling' engagement since we were turned down for college. As we said at the time, we still have a ministry callin…
The Road to WBC - closed for major roadworks
It is with sadness and disappointment that I have to announce that this week, the Territorial Candidates Council turned down our application for officer training in The Salvation Army. This was the final hurdle after nearly 5 years of battling, interviews and form filling, and if we still feel this…
This weekend- our Assessment Conference
This Friday, Carol-Anne and I will be flying down to Heathrow to go on to Sunbury Court - the Salvation Army's Conference Centre in West London.
"Why are we going there" I hear you ask! Well, we have been invited to attend an Assessment Conference.
Okay, some of you are none the wiser!!

Today's worship @ Glenrothes SA
With our officers (ministers) away on holiday, the responsibility of leading worship and bringing Gods message to us at Glenrothes Salvation Army today fell to our Youth and Community Worker (and all round top person) Jan. Jan's great - she is Glenrothes through and through and always pushes home t…

Cowdenbeath weekend - part 2
Well thats our weekend done - and what a day we had today!
Everyone slept well last night - including the girls - which meant we didn't wake or get up as early as we should. Shouldn't really have been a problem as the advantage of having led the concert last night in Cowdenbeath was that we left th…
Cowdenbeath Weekend - part 1
Well thats part one of the weekend done! And what a part one it was.
We were asked earlier this year to lead Cowdenbeath SA's Harvest Festival. This soon had a Young People edge added to it so it became a joint celebration. We were also asked to do a Saturday night concert thing too - with th…
A busy weekend ahead
Well here we are at the start of a buzy ministry weekend. We've been invited to lead the Harvest/Young Peoples Celebration Weekend at Cowdenbeath Salvation Army, which is about 15 minutes from us. We've led a couple of Sunday meetings there already so its a pleasure to be able to share with them f…
The road to WBC ... continued
Many of you will know that today we had a kind of interview as part of our continuing process to training to be full-time ministers (Officers) in The Salvation Army. Having jumped through a number of expected hoops willingly, and having completed our application forms, we were then told the system h…

A while back, I wrote about the demise of the chain of bookshops formerly operated by th…
