Musings from The Manse – June

Jesus experienced disagreements amongst his Disciples, the Temple Authorities and the people and Paul tells us of many in the early church. The Disciples even argued about who was greatest among them and of course couldn’t agree and were suitably embarrassed when Jesus caught them out. He gave them a

A “Time to Remember Service”- Sunday 2nd June

Musings from The Manse – May

I wonder as you look back on your own Easter if you can say that the passion of the Easter story has ignited in you a passion to share with the world your faith, your hope and your love in Jesus. Or has it been like any other Easter or

Jesus is Risen! Hallelujah!

Musings from the Manse – April

But as I reflect on those words of our Lord and Saviour I am asking myself and all of us, if in acknowledging Jesus is with us, whether we truly welcome him and furthermore if we are willing to journey with him into Easter and of course beyond. Using his

Musings from The Manse for March

This had made me think about what motivates us in life to do what we do and be what we are and to change those things God would have us change. As Romans 12.1-2 tells us ‘Offer yourselves as a living sacrifice to God, dedicated to his service… let God

Musings from the Manse – February

Well we would not have buildings and we couldn’t even just hire a hall for the Sunday service as no one would organise it. We would have no fellowship and no pastoral care, no children’s work, no involvement in any decisions which presumably would all be made by the minister[now

Pancake Day Party

Last year’s was such a success, that we thought we would repeat the Pancake Party again this year. Why not come along between 10.00am and 12 noon and enjoy the amazing pancakes which were a sell-out last year! Just pop in for coffee and a chat and the only thing

The atmosphere was joyous and it was a wonderful time of sharing and talking together before the service. Again, some of those who hadn’t been before to our church joined us for the service, which was welcomed by us. All together we raised £165.00 for Saint Michael’s Hospice. Keep in

The Lonely Mother

One nearby congregation has erected a wonderful display outside their church – right on a street corner. Two life-like and nearly life-size figures representing Mary and Joseph sit beside the manger where the newborn Jesus is laid. Lots of people have commented on how attractive it is, and how much

Food and Film Night

We did the usual thing with crackers, party hats and jokes with a marvellous spread of food, where we able to chat to one another and just enjoy one anothers company. After we had eaten, the children played pass the parcel while the adults talked some more over coffee and
