Sharing Christ's love in Perth
We were very pleased to host a Provincial Youth Network sleepover in the Threshold overnight.
PYN members and leaders participated in this morning’s service – readings with actions, guiding the congregation in thinking and discussing the Transfiguration as an address and leading the intercessions.

The church was well decorated with lovely displays of flowers for our Harvest thanksgiving service in September.
The church was packed for the last recital of the summer, classic guitarist Ayman Jarjour. He played a selection of works, both familiar (Granados, Villa-Lobos) and unfamiliar (Venezuelan waltzes, amongst others).
Afterwards local Syrian friends laid on a splendid feast.
Well over £1000 was raised for his charity, Medical Aid and Support for Syria.
