Thought for the Week

Jesus replied, “Very, verily I tell you’re the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born from above.” “How can someone be born in such away, when they are old?” Nicodemus replied. “Surely they cannot enter a second time into their mother’s womb and be born again!”

Knowing that our Lord is always within, it is frightening to think that even the hairs on our head are numbered.

Prayers

Pray for the comfort of those suffering war.

Pray for the victims of war those caught up in the wars of this world, Christians who are being persecuted for being faithful and loving the lord, within the Sudan, Israel, Lebanon, Nigeria, children, mothers, babies and men, pastors.

Thank God for his love revealed in Christ, pray for love to be within our churches, our communities, our countries and our world.

Thank God for small mercies and small things in our lives.

Pray for those you know who are sick or dying, and for God’s presence and that they may experience the love of God.

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.
