Church Weekend (Not) Away - 8th-10th May 2026
We’re planning a weekend away – at home!
With Special Guests Rev Dr Lynn McChlery and her husband Stuart.
Here’s the Plan: We’ll have some slots to learn together from Lynn and Stuart about the Prodigal Son and then woven into this we’ll have a mix of different activities including a family Ceilidh on the Saturday night.
We’d love for you to come to as much as you feel able of the different slots. We’ll aim to cater to all ages as best we can
Lynn and Stuart: Lynn and Stuart stay in Auchterarder where Lynn is parish minister. Between them they have a breadth of experience and a long standing connection with TPC. Lynn did her the final part of her training here. We’re really looking forward to having them lead us in learning about the story of the Prodigal Son
