Over the next three weeks we have various exam results being released across the UK. 

The results for Nationals, Highers and Advanced Highers – as well as the more vocational National Progression Awards, Skills for Work Awards, and National Certificates in Scotland – are released by the Scottish Qualifications Agency on 4 August.   In England, Wales, and the Crown Dependencies A, AS, and T Levels are released on 13 August whilst GCSE and various vocational qualifications are released on 20 August. 

These days are approached with trepidation and produce both profound joy and disappointment.  We keep all our young, and not so young, in our prayers during this season of results.  

The URC offers this prayer, for private and public use, as results are received, understood, digested and as future plans are made.

O God of every good gift,
calm anxious minds,
help all who are longing for,
and all who are dreading,
the coming results:
that they may find peace
and an ability to trust in you for all that follows.
In Your loving kindness help all those waiting
to find resilience where there is disappointment,
and joy when dreams have been fulfilled.
We thank You for teachers, lecturers, and for students’ hard work.
As next steps are discerned,
remind us all that our worth is not found in certificates
but in Your great love for us. Amen.

On Tuesday evening, around 100 people watched “The People’s Emergency Briefing” at Trinity and joined in a discussion afterwards.  It was a challenging and thought-provoking watch, and gave many insights into the threats posed to each one of us individually and to our world.

The UK faces a growing climate and nature emergency. Yet most people have never been fully briefed on what it means for our lives, our economy and our future.  If you missed this opportunity to view the film you are encouraged to find a local screening NOW.   Follow the link to National Emergency Briefing, then click on National Screening Map where you will find local screenings.

“We are the first generation to see the effects of climate change and the last that can do anything about it. The People’s Emergency Briefing is a wake-up call for all of us. The threat posed by climate change and loss of biodiversity dwarfs that of other crises, and the public need to be informed, so that together we can turn the situation around.”
Rt Revd Graham Usher, lead CoE Bishop for the Environment
