Greetings to Aberdeen & Shetland
Greetings to the newly formed Presbytery of Aberdeen and Shetland from the Presbytery of Lochaber.
Back in 2011 at the Roll away the Stone (precursor to Heart & Soul) event in Princess Street Gardens, stones from around the church were formed into a Cairn and at the end people were encouraged to take a stone away. The stone from Shetland came back to Lochaber to Strontian Church where it has been all these years and has prompted many a prayer for you. Every blessing at this exciting time of new beginnings for the Presbytery of Shetland and Aberdeen.
