	Rink van Dijke Link Groups Coordinator Email: rink@talktalk.net Phone: 0131 664 2178 At Liberton we encourage folks to get involved in one of our regular Link groups – linking upwards to God, inwards to each other and outwards to others. These meet at different places and times of the week, and vary in frequency to suit the folks who come. As well as opportunities to get to know people better, they are places where you can deepen your faith and find support for issues which may arise in your day to day life. Contact Rink for more details.

Come into our peaceful Kirkyard during July and August (open 8am to 8pm in these summer months) and spend half an hour (or more!) exploring our Peace Pathway. Start at the Offering House just inside the main gate, where there is an introduction on the outside wall. Then follow eight stations marked with stones around the church building, each with a Bible quotation, some thoughts and a prayer. If you are unable to visit in person, you can follow the pathway by clicking on the picture below. This is part of a series of “Words for Today” and you can read these too by clicking here.
