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.

Chocolate Teapots (31st July 2011)

Matthew 14:13-21

876256-five-loaves-of-bread-isolated-on-white There's a very easy exegesis for this passage: Why in the Name of God do we wait for a famine to happen on the scale of the Horn of Africa right now before we begin thinking about sharing.

We could let the Kingdom of God break in right now simply by sharing (the kingdom is not a place but a way or life remember!) but...

Given this is the only story that is in all four gospels and indeed on one of them twice: that's five times, then perhaps it might be important. Don't wait till everyone is starving, 'You give them something to eat!' I don't know is Jesus was talking tongue in cheek with that reply given the disciples question of 'Tell the people to go home and get something to eat,' but it was a one phrase manifesto of the kingdom: don't just stand there - do something.

Well, go on.
