SCOTLAND Reports

Aberdeen: During the month of May the Ayrshire Bible Exhibition visited the Assembly at Woodside in Aberdeen. We had the joy of seeing some 365 children from P6 and P7, along with their teachers, from eight schools in the area visit the exhibition. The teachers said that they were impressed, and the children were well behaved and enthusiastic in answering the questions. The workers and those who helped during the week were all very encouraged. One school took the time to get the children to write about their visit to the exhibition and sent a board with the children’s work on it for the assembly to see. One read, "Thanks for helping me learn and remember how important Christ the Lord is, I really enjoyed looking and reading about the commandments and am grateful". We trust and pray that the Lord will continue to bless His Word.

Fife: The assembly at Kennoway had the first of their summer outreach weekends in late June, with open air meetings in the town on Saturday and Lord’s Day afternoons, and Bert Cargill giving three seminar type talks in the Gospel Hall on Creation/Evolution. These were entitled, "Time to look at the Evidence", "Time to consider the Alternatives", and "Time to choose for yourself". All contained a serious gospel emphasis, and the assembly was encouraged by the very good attendance on each of the three evenings, with many from the district there to listen, including some unsaved folk. Free literature was provided and taken, and opportunities were given for questions and some personal discussions during refreshments at the end of each session.
