Christian Service A feature of the UK conferences for many years has been a short service
of Christian worship. This year, we are all invited to join the regular
service at historic Greyfriars
Kirk on Thursday from 1.10-1.30pm. Greyfriars stands near the south
end of George IV Bridge, at the junction with Candlemaker Row. The entrance
to the Kirkyard is directly opposite the new Museum of Scotland. It is
a very short walk from the conference site: cross the street from the
McEwan Hall, and at the end of Bristo Street, the Kirk will be opposite,
across the street. For information about the church see http://www.greyfriarskirk.com/ |
