I’ll re:view it tomorrow. I promise. Hopefully.

Due to spending the evening seeing Dance Monkey Boy Dance at The Stand, I haven’t got round to telling you about Re:Hope like I promised you in my last blog. Sorry. I’ll do it tomorrow. I was the only person there to have heard of Van der Graaf Generator, though, which showed that it was…

Today’s double-header of a church review kicks off with the morning gig at Partick Trinity Church of Scotland, which meets in a traditional old building near the university. As I walked in, a woman dishing out intimation sheets asked me if I knew I where I was going. I paused for a second, wondering if…

I slept in this morning, so didn’t make it to Partick Trinity. I’ll save that delight till next Sunday. Tonight, though, I went to C7, a church plant by huge Australian hands-in-the-air merchants Hillsong. And what an experience it was. Only started in August, they’ve been camping out in various venues around Glasgow and are…

I’m throwing in one last-minute addition to the churches I’ll visit in round 1. Another St Silesian emailed me the other day, and drew my attention to the very eye-catching, almost over-slick, website of Re:Hope, a church he had not himself visited, but which seems to be a new pentecostal church near where I live.…

On Sunday night, because the snow was so heavy and I didn't want to travel far, I went to Partick Trinity Church of Scotland. Their website is simple and clear, but I'd not heard much about the place. I found it closed, unfortunately – a woman posted at the front door informed me that the…

Last night saw a heavy snowfall, so Glasgow awoke to several inches of snow today. I slipped and waded my way through thick snow this morning, dodging snowmen, snowboarders, sledgers and snowball fights to make it to church. This morning was Wellington Church of Scotland, a beautiful building at the heart of the Glasgow University…

It’s been a full week, with two days in Sheffield for a training course and then the weekend in Aberdeen. More about all that another day though, because I got back to Glasgow in time for my flatmate and I to try out another church, St Silas Episcopal. St Silas is well known as a…

This evening’s church was Sandyford Henderson, a Church of Scotland about 25 minutes’ walk from me. I’d heard good things about it – good teaching, friendly, and lively. As this was exactly what I’d heard about Findlay Memorial and The Tron, both of which disappointed, I didn’t hold out much hope of being surprised. But…

The church-hunting over the last three weeks has been a bit of an experience. The first place I tried was Findlay Memorial, an independent baptist church that had great teaching but lacked a certain oomph in its praise and lacked a whole barrowload of oomph in the welcome department. When my flatmate came along in…

In church this morning, a friend gave me the web address of the church she went to when she lived in Glasgow. I had a browse a moment ago, and that led me on a search for the websites of all the churches in Glasgow that people have been good enough to recommend to me…
