"Dear friends, let us love one another,
for love comes from God." 1 John 4:7



You Are Very Special
"Dear friends, I found this the other day and felt I wanted to share it with all who read the Pastoral Letter. Each one of us, is special to God. He knows us and knows where we are in life and how we feel right now. So please read it and believe it is for YOU.
In all the world there is nobody, nobody like you.
Since the beginning of time there has never been another person like you. Nobody has your smile, your eyes, your hands, your hair. Nobody owns your handwriting, your voice. You’re Special. Nobody can paint your brushstrokes. Nobody has your taste for food or music or dance or art. Nobody in the Universe sees things as you do. In all the time there has never been anyone who laughs in exactly your way; and what makes you laugh, or cry or think may have a totally different response in another.
So - You’re Special.
You’re different from any other person who has ever lived in the history of the Universe.
You are the only one in the whole creation who has your particular set of abilities. There is always someone who is better at one thing or another. Every person is your superior in at least one way. But nobody in the Universe can reach the quality of the combination of your talents or your feelings. Like a roomful of musical instruments some might excel in one way or another but nobody can match the symphonic sound when they are all played together.
Your symphony!
Through all eternity no one will ever walk, talk, think or do exactly like you.
You’re Special.
You’re rare, and in all rarity there is enormous value and because of your great value the need for you to imitate anyone else is absolutely wrong. You’re Special and it is no accident you are. Please realise God made YOU for a special purpose. He has a job for you to do that nobody else can do as well as you can. Out of the billions of applicants only one is qualified. Only one has the unique and right combination of what it takes and that one is you.
YOU’RE SPECIAL!
(Anon.)
Please read this again and believe God not only cares for YOU but has a job for You that only YOU can do
God Bless,
Brian

BLAIRGOWRIE PARISH CHURCH
***
Audio Visual Upgrade

​
A Church fit for purpose, today and tomorrow
We know how important it is for people to come together and how important it is for us, as a church, to facilitate that coming together wherever and however we can. We also have a mission to spread the Gospel and a stewardship responsibility for our building.
As a result, The Kirk Session has resolved to invest in new sound systems for the sanctuary and hall, new screens and commercial-standard wifi throughout the building. Planning for this work is now underway and a date for works to start is awaited.
The new Audio-Visual (AV) system, while expensive to install, will help us to achieve our goals and show ourselves as a forward looking, scripture-driven and community focused church for the future by...
• Bringing people together with live streaming for the good times and the sad (weddings, funerals)
• Spreading the Gospel with live streaming of services
• Meeting the needs of our community groups
• Providing an income stream to support our church and its buildings.
​
Over £36,000 has been raised through donations and monies raised through a variety of events. The budget for the works is expected to be £50,000. The difference will be funded from our reserves AND in order to close the funding gap as much as we can, a Gift Day will be held as our FINAL fundraiser.
Will you share in our vision by contributing to our Gift day on Friday 31st October?
The church will be open between 10am and 3pm to receive your gift.
Other ways of giving will be available.
To see what works are being carried out...
