Musings from the Manse – July
Jesus and His disciples lived together in unity but not always agreeing. But the unity of kindred spirits should override the differences of opinion and character and backgrounds of the individuals. Indeed how good and pleasant it is when we experience being together in such ways that give us a

Musings from the Manse – June
However, when I wear my dog collar folk don’t ask what do you do, as the collar is a giveaway but like with any role nobody knows totally what you do unless they have done it. It is so easy to generalise about what we think any job entails. To

Musings from the Manse – May
With those words having being spoken by Christians across the world over Easter just one month ago, I have been wondering how long words last. I am sure some of us can remember words said by our parents or quotes by famous people, that stick in our mind. My dad

Musings from the Manse – April
That said, I am writing this musing just leading up to Palm Sunday and Holy week and through Lent I have been given many things to reflect on in the Easter story. One of the reflections has been that of predestination. Did God plan Judas to betray Jesus, Peter to

Musings from the Manse – March
I wonder how you are at ‘selling’ your faith to others. We might not use that terminology but that is what we are called to do in Jesus’ Great Commission, calling us all to go and make disciples. There is a danger of the bad experience, as with my car

Pancake Party
Let’s not sugar coat it – poverty is real, with millions locked in its grip. That’s why we’re mixing things up to raise funds for CAP. Every pancake flipped and pound raised will help to free desperate people from the crushing weight of debt and poverty. (Clever pancakes, eh?) Together

Musings from the Manse – February
I seem to have got into a pattern over the last number of years of Giving up chocolate one year and doing something different the next. The giving up of chocolate reminds me every time I see chocolate what Christ gave for me on the cross. In years when I

Musings from the Manse – January 2018
What has this last year taught me? Have I nurtured my faith and grown closer to Jesus? What difference have I made in the life of others this year? Is the Church moving forward? Maybe if you’re like me you find these questions tough to answer, but it seems to

Christmas Musings from the Manse
A few days ago I also prepared the words we will use when we light our Advent candles, which this year will be the same words in both churches. The words follow the themes of Hope, Peace, Joy and Love and these words spoken each week at the beginning of
