Pilgrimage to the Holy Land 2024

St John’s looked stunning on Sunday, as we celebrated Harvest Thanksgiving and gave thanks for all God’s Creation.

We were delighted to welcome Sister Helen and hear about her life and work with the Order of the Holy Paraclete at St Hilda’s Priory in Whitby.

This was followed with a get together and lunch in the Threshold.

Words of war book festival

The Words of War Book Festival that is to be held at The Black Watch Museum in Perth on the 21st/22nd September 2019, see link below. The Book Festival builds on the very successful lecture programme that the Museum has been hosting for the last 5 years. They have a fabulous selection of authors all of whom write on different aspects of war. From the Jacobite’s to the Cold War, military and humanitarian stories, there is something for everyone.

Words of War Book Festival

There will be a talk by Mary Miller about her book Jane Haining: A life of Love and Courage. The Moderator of the General Assemble of The Church of Scotland referred to Mary’s book in his opening address in May. The Black Watch Museum is a registered charity and all monies raised from the book festival will go to support our charitable objectives.

Thanks go to Professor Sir Hew Strachan FBA FRS, Patron of Words of War, Tippermuir Books Ltd, Perth’s not for profit publishers, and our sponsors for their help and support with this new e vent.
