Our thoughts and prayers are with Elaine Watt and the team leading the SU camp at Altnacriche this weekend. It's a beautiful morning in Inverness, so hopefully the weather is similar in Aviemore.
Along with her SU leadership, Elaine also co-ordinates all the worship teams at Hilton Church, a role which she has done in an outstanding manner for many years. This past Thursday, we had a meeting of all the worship team leaders, for a review of the current situation. Several years ago, we began with one band, which became two bands, and then became four bands. Where did all the musicians come from?!! We have discovered that when you make space for participation in music and worship, the people just keep coming! To that end, we decided that we are going to form a fifth band. If you are reading this, and are interested in sharing a musical talent in worship, please speak to myself or Elaine.We are also going to experiment with a variety of different permutations in terms of the mix of musical instruments used at certain services. Jonathan will also seek to develop a Youth band to get involved in a variety of youth led services over the next year. We also hope to encourage some more singers to get involved in leading with the various bands. There were plenty of ideas being discussed and I'll blog about others as they come to mind over the coming weeks. We're very grateful to God for all the musical talents we have at Hilton Church, and we're glad for the opportunities that arise to share it beyond the congregation. Tonight, a large group of musicians from the Congregation are playing at a Youth event in Dingwall, where Jonathan is speaking.
