A DAY of celebration bringing together young and old is being launched this month by the Church of Scotland Guild. Working in partnership with the wider Church, the Boys’ Brigade and the Girls’ Brigade and embracing the theme of ‘Walking Together’, adopted by the Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland in 2018/19, the ‘BIG Footprint’ will take place on Easter Saturday, April 20.
The Guild, which has a long and proud legacy of intergenerational working, hopes the project will demonstrate the vibrant ‘footprint of faith’ which already exists in local communities and to highlight the visible and active presence of churches at a time of special significance for all Christians.
Guild National Convener, Patricia Robertson explained: “Week in week out, the Church, the Guild, BB and GB undertake incredible work with individuals, groups and the wider community. But so often, we are not seen and we are not heard.
