Staff news. After working as part of the operations team for the last 7 and a half years Fil Stevenson has made the decision to move from full time to part time employment – a semi-retirement. Therefore he will be stepping down from his church role and will concentrate some of his time on his own business of graphic and digital design. Fil’s last working Sunday will be Sunday 31 March, Easter Sunday. We are incredibly thankful for Fil’s adaptability over his time working as part of the operations team as he has brought his vast skills set to this role. Alongside his broad technical and practical skillset, we are thankful for Fil’s compassionate heart; a person who lives out the vision of St Mungo’s, to Be Love, in a very clear and obvious way. Please do take time over the coming weeks to thank Fil and please do pray for him as he transitions into this new season.

Staff News: As Fil Stevenson moves into semi-retirement at Easter George Gera is going to be covering this role on a temporary basis. We are hugely thankful to George for agreeing to provide cover in this area and joining the Operations team.

Dedications are being planned. If you would like your little one dedicated in the 10.30 Balerno service on Sunday 12 May please contact enquiries@stmungos.org. A Livingston date will be decided later.
