- Welcome to the nexusEdinburgh page. Still getting to grips with managing both a person and a group as a Bebo user. You have all joined as a friend but no-one has joined the group which you can find a link to on this page.
Event details are getting posted on the group page so you'd better join the group to find out more details of everything that's going on.
Please feel free to make comments on this page - it's kinda empty

walk - Sat 5th Sept
Comment received after the previous walk:
When going to South Queensferry from Cramond last Saturday the 22nd An idea was put forward by myself to others in the party that we may try to have a go at the Water of Leith walkway.
According to a guide book I recently bought there are 2 possibiltys 1,Balerno to Craiglockhart 5and a half miles and will take over 2 hours.
2,Saughton to Leith and is 6 miles long and will take 3 hours.
I would suggest we do either of the routes say next saturday the 5th of September.
Anyone who is interested then please email me at mclindon@btinternet.com and I will provide further details.

Phil Wray (Regional Director for SU) is putting together a new mission team for this summer.It’s going to be a really exciting opportunity to begin a fresh mission initiative with a pair of local churches who are really keen to have us come&help them. Phil will be leading the team to Aberdour– which is a lovely wee seaside village in Fife (9-17 August). It would consist of delivering a kids holiday club in the morning, then a youth club at night, with a family quiz one night and a big BBQ at the weekend, plus helping at Sunday services at the beginning&end of the mission. In between times we’d be hanging out as a team–sunbathing&bible studies! We will be hosted by Church families.
I would love it if any of you felt that God might be asking you to be part of this team. You don’t have to be super experienced at doing mission. I’m just looking for folks who are excited about working with kids&young people & are looking to serve God.
