PORT OF MENTEITH

Rev Stuart Sharp from bringing worship videos but there is a way round the gremlins in the system. Tune in to www. killearnkirk.org.uk and under “Welcome to Killearn Kirk” you will find two furtherlinks which will take you to short periods of worship for young and old. One of Stuart’s songs is “Count Your Blessings” which he describes as a “golden oldie”. No matter what life’s difficulties are there is a blessing now or just round the corner.
