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 (21st August 2011)

Matthew 16:13-20

A name for a name. This seems to be a 'I'll tell you yours if you tell me mine' sort of conversation. Names contain values and meaning. It's not just a nice sound but contains the hope and aspirations of the person so choose your name wisely.

Names make the difference because perhaps the names come alive when we speak them and believe them. They have a power given to them, latent and patient until we find them sounding on our lips and we believe them. then they have life as we infest and fill that person we speak of with our hopes and dreams and longings and needs and faith. Dare we speak of Jesus as we believe him to be, not in the heavy laden 'Messiah' language which he doesn't want to be known by, but the everyday language that connects with people and people can understand and be drawn to...

Jesus: bread-breaker
Jesus: table-maker
Jesus: justice-bringer
Jesus: sin-bearer
Jesus: word in the silence
Jesus: authority's advesory
Jesus: laughter of heaven
Jesus: glutton and drunkard
Jesus: water-walker
Jesus: crowd-feeder
Jesus: life-fullfiller
Jesus: blessing-giver
Jesus: friend of the friendless
Jesus: anger of injustice
Jesus: companion on the way
Jesus: within
