Heart and Soul 2018

IN the heart of Edinburgh during the weekend of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland people will see a very visible sign of the Church in action. For the ninth year, Heart and Soul, with the theme Follow Me!, will take place in Princes Street Gardens on Assembly Sunday, May 19. This great celebration of our Church life offers a warm welcome to commissioners, congregations near and far, local residents and visitors who are simply curious to see something of what the Church is about. Around 5,000 visitors join Heart and Soul each year.

The project Board have continued to make changes to the event, seeking to ensure its relevance and fresh feel for those who come along. Last year visitors saw significant changes to the layout and many commented that the ‘villages’ of stories allowed them to engage with more exhibitors and congregations sharing their work. 2019 will build on this layout and promises to offer even more opportunities for encounter and conversation.
