Thought for the Week
Jesus said, ‘For where two or three come together in my name, there I am with them.’ At the end of Matthew’s gospel he said this, ‘And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.’
Knowing that our Lord is always with us isn’t meant to frighten us. But it should surely make us more aware and more careful of our thoughts, our words and our actions.

Prayers
Pray for comfort and peace for those who have lost loved ones.
Pray for the victims of the mudslide disaster in Nepal, Tibet and China – for comfort for the bereaved and strength for the rescuers.
Thank God for his love revealed in Jesus Christ, our Lord and pray for more love in the church, our communities, countries and the world.
Thank God for all those you love and for all the joy and strength they bring to your life
Pray for all those you know who are sick or dying that they may know God’s presence and that peace that is beyond all our understanding or strength..

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.
