    Your Thoughts & Ideas are Welcome! If you are NOT a member and would like to get in contact with Clydebank Waterfront Parish Church, for any reason, then please use the email address as follows... lifeatwaterfront@virginmedia.com Thank You!
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.

Root & Branch Review

A taster for Sunday.

IMG_9014 It’s about root and branch review
growing and pruning
O how that hurts

For we don’t want our bit to be pruned
our ideas
our traditions
our thoughts

A root and branch review
where the pruning is as much about growth
as it is about making us fit for the future
aware of who we are to be
shaping us for what we are called to become
but o how that hurts
when what is familiar becomes what is cut away

A root and branch review

Vintner God
renew us
prune us
and dare us
to cut back
re-graft
think through
who we are going to be
as a church
a faith community
the people of God

Vintner God
may we bear fruit called love
grapes full of justice
a harvest of grace and compassion
and in bearing such fruit
redeem your church
and renew ourselves

A root and branch review
that fears not, the pruning
and longs for the future
But O how that will hurt

Yet, so be it
Amen
