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.

Inside

  • 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.

Beyond Sermonizing

Don't worry, I haven't given up on the sermon... yet. That will be just a matter of time. However there are certain passages which are hardly worth preaching about because they are so well ingrained in people that is doesn't much matter what you say, it's part of people's DNA can you can't change how they read it without surgery.

Psalm 23 is one such passage, but what others do you have that just need to be read for the whole thing to cocoon you, or send you, and you get into that place where it's everything you know, believe, aspire to that you are hearing when the passage is read? More than just the words, but everything you are familiar with and trust.

Ecclesiastes 3: a time to be born and a time to die...?
Beatitudes: Blessed are the poor in heart...?

What passages do this to you? (It would help with he sermon I'm writing...)
