Church of Scotland to be celebrated in the heart of the Scottish capital

Written by Super User 17 Feb 2011

The life of the Church of Scotland is to be celebrated with a special outdoor event in Princes Street Gardens in May. Roll Away The Stone will showcase the Church of Scotland in Edinburgh's Princes Street Gardens, in front of the iconic castle. The Church's work will be brought to life in a variety of ways, including through worship, entertainment, stalls, music, drama, storytelling, puppets, juggling, drumming and crafts. Co-organiser Rev Dr George Whyte, Deputy Principal Clerk of the Church of Scotland, said up to 4,000 visitors are expected to take part in the free festival on May 22, during the Church's General Assembly week. Dr Whyte said ‘We are there to publicly celebrate the life of the Church of Scotland. It’s for those who know nothing about the Church and those who are deeply involved. We are encouraging anyone in the broader church family within a reasonable travelling distance to come to Edinburgh on the day.’

Pray: for spiritual protection for those staging this event and for its success in reaching out to people. (Ps.145:7)
