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.

All tidy for the new year

Jordan-river_500 I tidied by study (again) the other day. It wasn't really messy. No, honestly, it wasn't. There was a bit of a pile-up on my desk and a few things had migrated into my study from other rooms over Christmas but really is was just a bit of a shuffle and everything was nice and neat and tidy.

The church is all tidy too after the tyranny of joy of the festive season. With the different kinds of services and events we did along with all the traditional ones things got a bit messy but everything is now put back more or less. The new banners and triptych look fabulous: I really love them.

It's all pristine.

And then on Sunday we have this story of Jesus going into the Jordan and if you've ever seen the Jordan you'll know he will have come out muckier than when he went in and it just got worse as his ministry went on.

Perhaps a lesson to spend less time thinking faith cleanses us and more time thinking how we can get our hands even muckier...

Thanks to colleagues on various email discussion groups for the relief this thought brings to my habitual untidiness!
