Welcome to our website
Hello to all visiting our website at this uncertain time. May I wish you all health and strength and patience in the coming weeks and months ahead.
Sadly, our church, like every church in the country, has had to close its doors to everyone.
The beautiful building, of which we are so proud, stands tall and strong and usually so warm and welcoming, it echoes now of emptyness and music from praise lying dormant beside the organ.
And it is sad that we cannot open its doors. We WILL open them again, and our praise will ring out again, our prayers said to the Lord and most of all our thanksgiving to our Lord.
Until then we must remember,
We are the Church, not the building, at this testing time, we can still praise God wherever we are, we can pray wherever we are, and we as a whole congregation can love and serve the Lord in our community by following Jesus’ ways.
We will open our doors again but until we can:
Stay strong everyone and place yourself in God's hands. He will carry us through.
Go peacefully, go gently and walk with the Lord.
Blessing to all,
Rev Fiona Wilson
