Love Came Down at Christmas
“The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us, we have seen His glory
—full of truth and grace “
John 1: 14​
We often sing the carol “Love came down at Christmas, Love all lovely Love Divine”.
What do we mean?
We are singing of when God, in the form of His Son, came down to Earth as a baby. He lived with a family. As a baby and young child, He was a refugee in a foreign land. When it was safe the family went back to their homeland where He grew up in Nazareth learning His earthly father’s trade as a carpenter.
I believe he was showing the love of God in all that He did to His family, neighbours and friends, as he shared real life issues with them.
As a thirty year old adult He began His Ministry to share His Father God’s love with all He came in contact with. He knew and had experienced many of the problems of the people around Him. Through His teaching and healing He showed and shared God’s great love for all. He knew rejection and all the difficulties of life. but never faltered in sharing that great love of God.
Never doubt that Our Lord knows what living in this world is like.
Finally, by His death on the cross He still showed His love by dying to bring us closer to God as He took our sins upon Himself. When He rose again, He continued to show love and compassion to the disturbed disciples and all around.
Having returned to His Father in Heaven we are still recipients of that great love from God as shown in the Christmas Story.
So please remember, love, in the form of that baby, came down to Earth that first Christmas and never leaves us.
Enjoy this coming Christmas with your family and friends. We pray especially for anyone who is on their own. May God be with you all.

Audio Visual Upgrade
​
A Church fit for purpose, today and tomorrow
We know how important it is for people to come together and how important it is for us, as a church, to facilitate that coming together wherever and however we can. We also have a mission to spread the Gospel and a stewardship responsibility for our building.
As a result, The Kirk Session has resolved to invest in new sound systems for the sanctuary and hall, new screens and commercial-standard wifi throughout the building. Planning for this work is now underway and a date for works to start is awaited.
The new Audio-Visual (AV) system, while expensive to install, will help us to achieve our goals and show ourselves as a forward looking, scripture-driven and community focused church for the future by...
• Bringing people together with live streaming for the good times and the sad (weddings, funerals)
• Spreading the Gospel with live streaming of services
• Meeting the needs of our community groups
• Providing an income stream to support our church and its buildings.
​
Over £36,000 has been raised through donations and monies raised through a variety of events. The budget for the works is expected to be £50,000. The difference will be funded from our reserves AND in order to close the funding gap as much as we can, a Gift Day will be held as our FINAL fundraiser.
Our Gift Day on Friday 31st October
raised the fantastic sum of £6,190.
This does not include donations made directly into our account!
THANK YOU!!
You can still gift through the Sunday plate.
