Chaplain resigned & New Chairperson appointed

Unfortunately the end of February saw the resignation of Alan.  We wish him God's blessing as he continues to work at his new job in Gorgie.  This leaves us with a space for a new Chaplain - again if you're interested in volunteering for 4 hours a week in Cameron Toll shopping centre (that leaves you plenty of time for some retail therapy after!)  click on the HUGE blue button under vacancy in this blog.

On a more exciting note - we have appointed a new Chairperson to keep us all under control!  This person, which is a first for the Chaplaincy, is a lovely lady namely Janet Sidaway who worships at St Peter's Episcopal Church in Lutton Place.  Now what do we call her - apart from Janet? Chairperson? Chairlady?  Or how about just Chair?  Whatever the name tag we welcome you on board Janet and hope you enjoy the challege.

COLIN LEAVES FOR PASTURES NEW :(

Just to bring you up to date -

You will have seen by the message below that we are looking for 2 new Chaplains.

The reason?  Our Chaplain Colin has left us to follow his change of career - he's going to study to become a Community Development Officer.  He's cramming a 3 year course into one. 
As sure is he can be this career in community development is what God wants him to pursue and he says 'I doubt that this would have become clear to me without my involvement in the chaplaincy.'  Lovely to hear that!  It's been lovely to work along side him.
We thank Colin for all he did in his year with us, and of course wish him Gods richest blessing in his new career.
Colin - Thanks for all you've done
