Holocaust Memorial Day 27th January 2025
Let’s not fear the past but see how we can mould it as we work tirelessly to bring God’s kingdom in to set all people free and may we pray with others in these words taken from a prayer for Holocaust Day
Forgive us when we give space to fear, negativity and hatred of others, simply because they are different from us. In the light of God, we see everyone as equally precious manifestations of the Divine, and can know the courage to face the darkness. Through our prayers and actions, help us to stand together with those who are suffering, so that light may banish all darkness, love will prevail over hate and good will triumph over evil.

From the Minister
Are you a member of The Church? The answer can be ‘Yes’ and ‘No’ at the same time.
Everyone who has been baptised is a member of the world wide Church of Christ. All of the mainstream churches recognise this belief and understanding, although it is right to remember that the Baptist Church and some independent Churches have different understandings.
To become a member of The Church of Scotland involves either being admitted onto the roll of members by Kirk Session decision, or, more often, by joining the Church on a Sunday morning in a special part of the service which involves taking the vows of membership and being welcomed by the congregation.
I am aware of a couple of people who are involved in the life of the church but who have not yet had the opportunity to become full members.
Anyone who is interested in becoming a member of this Church is invited to indicate this to me, so we can arrange to discuss it further.
