God Be My Resting Place
We have moved into 2025 in a world that seems to be in turmoil in every area. We may well ask “Where is God in all this?” And for some our own personal situations may not be easy. Again, we may be asking “Where is God in this?”
We, as Christians, must stand firmly on our solid foundation which is our God. We need to trust Him and ask Him daily for help.
In January 1999 when we were about to move to Staffordshire to my first charge with some fear and trepidation, friends in the Church we were attending gave us this poem/prayer, which still hangs in our house. I give it to you and hope you too can read it daily as you ask God to be with you and give you peace each day.
God, be my resting place and my protection
In hours of trouble, defeat and dejection.
May I never give way to self-pity and sorrow,
May I stand undaunted, come what may,
Secure in the knowledge I have only to pray
And ask my Creator and Father above
To keep me serene in His grace and His love!
Helen Steiner Rice.

BLAIRGOWRIE PARISH CHURCH
***
Audio Visual Upgrade
A Church fit for purpose, today and tomorrow
During the past two years we have learned 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.
The new Audio-Visual (AV) system, while expensive to install, will help us to achieve our goals and show ourselves as a forward looking, scripturally 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.
It is intended that all costs will be covered by fundraising, and not from church funds. No-one will be required to contribute.
We hope to raise £35,000
so far we have raised £16,731
Thank you!
