Drive-in cancelled

Dear all

Sadly we have had to cancel Sunday evening due to the Tier 3 restrictions still in place for Edinburgh this week.

There is a Celtic Carols with Celtic Worship online on Saturday evening that I’m sure will be well worth logging in to.

The link for that is now on the Big Idea Facebook page.

Please pray on for other churches in Big Idea at this time….and look forward to the January online event on Sunday 3rd at 7pm!

Thanks for now
Alastair Cameron
