Word for the day from the Rev Fred Harrison Thursday 2 July How is it that centuries after the Bible was written, when monks copied the Bible by hand, they added chapters and verses. Was it by accident they included some amazing statistical puzzles? Check them out: -
1. O praise the Lord, all ye nations: praise him all ye people. 2. For his merciful kindness is great toward us, and the truth of the Lord endureth forever. Praise ye the Lord. Psalm 118 8. It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man. 9. It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in princes. If you like a puzzle check out what God has for you and work out why. How is it that centuries after the Bible was written, when Monks copied the Bible by hand they added chapters and verses.

DPC verse for 2020
"So, my dear brothers and sisters, be strong and immovable. Always work enthusiastically for the Lord, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless". 1 Corinthians chapter 15 verse 58 (NLT) A verse for today
The Lord bless you and keep you, The Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you. The Lord lift up his countenance upon you, And give you peace. Numbers 6: 24 - 26 A verse to share Zephaniah chapter 3 verse 17 "The Lord your God is with you, The Mighty Warrior who saves, he will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing". Remember, God is with us, he is a mighty warrior - our salvation is taken care off. BUT he delights in you and I AND he sings over us. Wow! Who are we?
Our minister and his family The Reverend Gordon Stevenson lives with his family, in Dunbar. Gordon was called to Dunbar in 2010. 'During this time, our church has seen God at work in many different ways; lives transformed, people called into full time ministry etc. We believe that we are a family learning and serving Jesus together so that we might discover God's vision for the church and share it with everyone'. Who is Rev Fred Harrison?
Gordon, our minister, is currently on leave so we would like to welcome Rev. Fred Harrison and his family to our church. If you need to contact him please go to contact A note from Rev. Fred Harrison I would like to introduce myself, Rev Fred Harrison, to you. That said a good number may remember my face from my time as a student minister when I had the honour of covering for Gordon on a number of occasions. Back then my wife Joyce and I lived in Gorebridge but now stay here in Dunbar which gives me the chance to join you as Gordon's assistant. We have a daughter and her husband along with their children here in Dunbar and another daughter, her husband and their daughter living in Bonnyrigg. Recognising that "only God is good" , as the Lord was quick to point out, I don't believe in a blame culture, I get thing wrong frequently and can never remember folks names, but rather prefer to live in a culture of grace as demonstrated by our Father in Heaven. I look forward to serving our Lord, your Minister Gordon, yourselves and those in the rest of our parish. May God bless and keep you all. Regards Fred How to find us
