Synergie Youth

By Clara Dowds

Psalm 31:2
“your high cliff aerie a place of safety” MSG
“A hiding place on high” TPT

“This made me think and wonder why the image of a cliff aerie is used. I searched up the meaning of aerie and this is the definition :

“high or inaccessible place from which someone can observe what is below them.”

Two things came to mind.

First, God’s hiding place is inaccessible to the enemy, He holds us high above the enemy’s reach.
Secondly, it gives us a new vantage point. When we are on a cliff aerie we can see for miles.

When we make Jesus our hiding place and run to Him in times of trouble, he gives His vantage point so we can view our situation through His eyes, His perspective ”

Baby Dedication – 15th May

Leah Rose Alexander  

Daughter of Natalia & Mike Alexander, and sister to Rosa.  Natalia says, “I have been coming to the Vine since February 2018. Prior to that I went to Destiny Church Dunfermline & Destiny Church Gorgie location. I was brought up in a Christian home and was baptised when I was 11. I want to keep on growing in Christ!”

Children are a gift from God.

A dedication is a celebration, a commitment and a blessing.

“Children are a gift from the LORD; they are a real blessing.”  Psalm 127:3


Baptism Sunday – 19th June

“We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life. – Romans 6:4″

Baptism is a public declaration of faith and your commitment to Jesus Christ. It is a symbol of the beginning of a new life – the old life is left behind in the waters.

There will be a Baptism class on Sunday the 12th June from 10:30am – 11:15am in the Kintail room at the Vine Church.  This is to help you prepare for your baptism and answer any questions you may have.
