About 18 months ago, we moved the financial reserves of the church, our investments, to a new investment manager – Epworth Investments.
Over the past couple of weeks we’ve shared our service plan for the summer. We are going to be running things differently over the 7 weeks of the school holidays (30 June to 11 Aug inclusive) using the same format as we have over the past couple of years.

The local Gala has been a major community event in Balerno for over 60 years and the Gala Day is one of Balerno’s biggest annual community events.
Soul Survivor Scotland (20-25 July 2019)
Five days spent camping with over a thousand teenagers, far fewer showers, and a good spot of rain sounds like most people’s worst nightmare, and yet Soul Survivor has been one of the greatest experiences of my life, not just because of the crêpes and the hot chocolate mountains, but because of the amazing way that God came to meet us and strengthen our faith in Him.
Last year St Mungo’s took part in the Turning Scotland here in Edinburgh. The Turning’s vision is to see every believer across Scotland equipped to share the Gospel and trained to disciple those who respond. Over 20 churches were involved, and at the end of the 8 days outreach, with a total of only 1 hour per day on the street, we saw 852 respond to the Gospel in Aberdeen, Glasgow and Edinburgh.
