| CHRISTIANS FROM MALAWI TO VISIT ABERDEEN | ||
| Christians from Malawi will be visiting Aberdeen 1-15
September 2005. Hosted by the Presbytery of Aberdeen, the visitors will be
attending worship services and touring various locations in the city. In November 2003, The Presbytery of Aberdeen was twinned with Blantyre City Presbytery of Malawi. Since then eighteen congregations in the city have twinned with eighteen individual congregations in Blantyre. The Church of Scotland has had strong links with the Christian Church in Malawi for many years and the two Church’s share many similarities. |

|
| Part of the
twinning agreement between the two Presbyteries is exchange visits both
to and from Malawi and so in May of this year a group of eight from Aberdeen
set out for Blantyre. Now a return visit is being made with 17 members from
congregations in Malawi coming over to Scotland. [Draft
Programme] The visit will include a trip to Crathie Church, a Civic Reception at the Town House, a tour of King’s College, attendance at the Presbytery meeting and a ceiildh at Queen’s Cross Church. Transport for the visitors is being generously provided free of charge by First Bus. George Mair, the Managing Director, kindly agreed to offer a bus and driver and this offer has been much appreciated by the Presbytery. It is hoped that the visit will remind local congregations that we are part of a worldwide Church which, in places such as Malawi, is growing rapidly. It will also continue to strengthen the strong links which have been built between the Malawian Christians and those here in Scotland. |
