Are you interested in justice? Are you concerned about the poorest people in our society? Do you think we should be acting to help those who are homeless?

If any of these questions apply to you, then you might be interested in, JUST CHURCH.

Just Church is a programme, “designed to help churches focus on social justice issues in their own communities and across Britain, and in particular on poverty.”

The Just Church programme is a series of modules that through worship and activities helps us as a church to learn more about social justice. It encourages us to look at how we can respond to questions of social justice and how we can help the poorest in our society. The modules link the theme of justice to such things as money, the Bible, our personal lives, spirituality, children, community. At the end of the Just Church programme the course shows us how we can put together an action plan to implement Just Church in our church and local community.

St. Michael’s will be running the Just Church programme throughout 2008 beginning at the end of April. If you would like to be involved please contact the minister, Rev. James Aitken on 346 1970 or james.aitken2@btinternet.com or contact the church office 478 9675, or sign up on a Sunday morning on the sign-up sheet at the back of the church.

War Memorial Book

On Remembrance Day 2005, we installed a database to commemorate the lives of those listed on the War Memorials of World War 1 and World War 2. This also includes the names from the former North Merchiston Church War Memorial which was destroyed during the demolition of the church.

The book contains lists 141 names. We have managed to trace photographs of some of the fallen. In other cases the only reminder has been their gravestone and where possible these are included. It also, where available, contains information on where and how they died, where they are buried and their family. It brings to life the cost of war.

To obtain a copy, please contact the church office, tel: 0131 478 9675 or email
or contact the webmaster, tel: 0131 346 1179.
Cost: £6.00 each + £1 p/p.
