Thought for the Week

: ‘Blessed and holy Three, glorious Trinity.’ (Hymn 112 verse 4.’)

‘It took the brightest minds of the church almost five centuries to come up with the lasting formulations to express the concept of the trinity…………………..The very word “person” comes out of that long debate. Theologians borrowed a word – persona in Latin, porsopon in Greek – used of the mask which an actor wore on stage (to portray different characters) in order to express how one being could be expressed in three persons.’

Philip Yancy, ‘Reaching for the Invisible God’ page 126.

Prayers

Pray for Donald Prentice who is recovering in hospital.

Pray for Christian Aid and all those around the world who are blessed by its help.

Pray that world leaders may be guided into ways of peace in our troubled world.

Pray for peace for all those living under the shadow of war and destruction.

Pray for those who live with discrimation and fear because of their faith – remember especially the Jewish community.

Pray for those living under oppressive regimes, those imprisoned or under threat of execution, and those denied basic human rights.

Pray for all those seeking freedom and new life.

About Us

Our Beliefs

The Holy Bible is the best guide to living. It is the Word of God. We may know God’s presence within and around us through the gift of His Holy Spirit. When we believe in God and in His Son Jesus Christ we shall inherit eternal life.

He is Lord of our lives. The Love of God is freely given to all who will accept it and walk according to His ways. We long to share that love. We come from many different backgrounds in the Kirk. Each of us in our human frailty seeks to worship, trust, and serve God in Christ’s name as best we can. We care about God’s world. We care about you. We will keep a place for you in the Church.
