The people of Beath and Cowdenbeath North Church are taking the opportunity to share a bright and colourful message with everyone who passes by at the North Church in Perth Road. Faced with a bare hoarding hiding building work, the Kirk Session decided to commission artist, Hazel Gray, a member of the congregation, to come up with a design that would cheer up the day of everyone who sees it. The result is an eye catching rainbow and stained glass design with a simple but profound message: “God loves you!” The minister, David Redmayne, said, “We are delighted with the colours and design of the picture – it says, in a very simple way, everything we want to share!”  Meanwhile the building work at the North Church, largely financed by a bequest from former member, Mary Salmond, will provide a new meeting room and improved facilities which will be opened later this year. The builders are Hatrick-Bruce of Milnathort.Construction picture available to view at www.beathandnorth.org.uk 

Interesting research (which confirms earlier research) that being involved in church has a pychological positive effect.  We have lots of Good News to share - faith, hope, peace, salvation, grace… to name a few, now we can add happiness !!
