Hogmanay Watchnight and Commissioning Service for HOPE 08 in Scotland
Oh What a Night It Was! As we declared together…. ‘Let Glasgow flourish by the preaching of the Word and the praising of His name!’
The Hogmanay watchnight and commissioning service was…to quote many… “tremendous!” The cathedral was almost filled to the overflow area which had been set up with a wide screen. There were over 700 in attendance with a choir of nearly 100 to lead us in praise and worship. It was a true sign of hope to see so many church leaders sharing the same platform and echoing the same vision from John 17 -
‘… may they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that You sent Me and have loved them even as You have loved Me.’
It was a great encouragement to be among the family of God to bring in the New Year. Thanks to all who supported this event. Much appreciation to the Glasgow Cathedral for allowing us the use of such a beautiful venue.
As many have already suggested that we do something like this again…Watch This Space!
However, as the message suggested, let’s now spend 2008 out of our comfortable sanctuaries and off of our comfortable sofas and be out and about in our villages, towns, and cities sharing the love of Christ together in word and action.
