It’s been another warm week here in Stonehaven as we continue to be blessed by a good summer. And we’re not done yet, there’s plenty of August left. Our week culminated with a welcome return to the church rooms at The Old Courthouse in Stonehaven. We’d been congregating in the courtroom itself for a long […]
Are you a biography collector? To varying degrees we’re all interested in the lives of others, not in a neck craning, ‘peeking over the fence fashion’ necessarily, but more out of a genuine intrigue in the life story of others. Sometimes we’re fascinated purely out of interest, other times it’s an overt search for inspiration. […]
What do you live for, or who do you live for? When all said and done, what inspires you and what drives you on when you feel like throwing in the towel? Paul, a disciple of Jesus back in the day and writer of several letters that appear in the bible, knew fine well who […]
Those living in Stoney’s auld toon had their long lies interrupted by a shrill fire alarm on Sunday, the Old Courthouse to blame, venue for Stonehaven Baptist Church services.

Have you noticed how your mood can change without warning? When the sands beneath your feet seem to shift and the solid foundations you thought you were standing upon suddenly become unstable? Moments like this strike all of us at times in our lives; the passing of a loved one out of the blue, a […]
Once again we were able to meet at Stonehaven Baptist Church this Sunday, all masked up and everything but at least we’re rubbing shoulders again instead of dialling into services online from our front rooms. With lockdown measures relaxing we pray for our town, and in particular for businesses and relationships to thrive once again. […]
Do you give up easily? Do you attack challenges with enthusiasm only to drift into an attitude of lethargy, wishing you hadn’t even begun? The temptation to pack it all in can be overwhelming sometimes and we can diligently construct a catalogue of reasons why a particular endeavour should be ended, making room for an […]
Ask most Christians which event is most precious to them during the calendar year and they’ll plump for Easter over Christmas nine times out of ten, an annual reminder of just how far God was prepared to go to prove his love for us. It was a pleasure then for members of Stonehaven Baptist Church […]
