WHO ARE WE? • We are married, not married, single, separated, divorced and remarried. • We are different generations of brothers, sisters, adults and children. • We are all genders and sexualities, lifestyles and experiences and a few prejudices too. • We are people very new to the church and many who have been here longer than they care to remember. • We are folks who know little about the Bible and those who know quite a bit about it. • We are Sunday morning only members and those who come to everything. • We are beginners on the journey of faith along with those who have travelled quite a distance. • We are people looking for something BIGGER in life. • We are a mix of explorers and traditionalists • We are people who want to be together: caring accepting and loving each other. But most of all... people who want to be together: caring, accepting and loving each other.

  • Church Interior - Fly Through (Don't make yourself dizzy)
    A wee panorama of the inside of our kirk when empty. Shhhh...You'll waken the church mouse! (and please close the door behind you in case it gets out) We know it's not about the building but it is very clever how you can do this. Many thanks to our property convenor's son Campbell McKerracher and if you go to cammylad.com then you'll see more of his suff.

Sunday, August 12, 2007

That was the Sunday that was

Old clothes and poridge. Summer up beautifully though the singing wasn't cad at all, not from where I was standing. maybe everyone was warmed up from last week. A couple of positive comments from a few folk and that was that.

I enjoyed the worship space tonight at the contemporary communion. The welcomeing hall was stripped of everything that is normally there and a number of images put in their place. It centred around the theme from this morning 'Faith is...' and took stories from Jesus to illustrate what faith is. But it wasn't the gold encased doctrine of belief, but the tinness of life, the questions the doubts the wonderings that were faith. If it was all so certain and assured as all the gold laminated creed stuff suggests, then it wouldn't be faith. It's the struggling, the questioning, the agony as Jesus himself felt that speaks of faith. As the best line tonight said, 'Faith is the end of the loaf, when you dont' know if there will be any more' just as we broke bread togetehr using the ends of the loaf to do so.

So I enjoyed the space. I'll post some images later tonight. And those who come occasionally, please do send me your comments about creative communion, the why, the what happens, the reason this works in ways formal communion doesn't. It really breaks free from 'what we're meant to do' and lets heaven be revealled as she really is...
