A Message From Our Minister: December 2022

Dear Friends,
 
I think it’s safe to say that the winter is here! It’s cold outside, and dark. Yet, I love this time of year!
Because if you walk through the streets at night, you can see the warm and friendly Christmas lights shining everywhere.
 
It’s as if the long hours of darkness focus our attention on the light. It makes us realise what a big difference light makes in our lives.
 
And this is not only true in our daily lives, it is very significant in our spiritual lives too… At Christmas we celebrate the fact that Jesus – the light for the world – was born.
To redeem us, to love us, to lead us through life.
 
So when the world around you feels cold and dark, focus on this light. The light God sent us. A light that can never be overcome by darkness.
 
Like when you are sitting in front of a cosy fire – let the warmth of the love of God fill you this Christmas and all through 2023…
 
May God bless you all,
 
Nanda

A Message from our Minister: July 2022

Dear Friends

Summer is here! All winter long, we long for the longer, sunny days, the colourful abundance around us, and some time to just relax a little. And that time is now! 

It’s so easy to just live from day to day, going through the motions, sometimes even wishing our days away. But if we do that, summer will be over before we know it… So let’s enjoy all the blessings the summer brings, and make the most of every single day!

The schools might be closed for summer, but the church is not! Please join us for worship every Sunday: During the month of July we have joint services at the West Kirk of Calder, at 10am; and during the month of August we have joint services at Polbeth Harwood Church, at 10am. Youngsters will be made very welcome, and after the children’s address they can go out to have some fun with our amazing team of youth volunteers.

In Ecclesiastes 3:12-13 (ICB), a very wise man said: “So I realize that the best thing for people is to be happy. They should enjoy themselves as long as they live. God wants everyone to eat and drink and be happy in his work. These are gifts from God.” So let’s follow his advice – this summer, and always!

May God bless you all,

Nanda 
 

A Message from our Minister: February 2022

Dear Friends,

This time of year it can be so dreich outside… But I know where you can find warmth and comfort – every Sunday in the church! Come add a splash of colour to your week, and some joy and laughter too. We can all do with a bit of cheering up after such a long winter! Come worship God, feel his love surround you, and become part of an amazing bunch or caring and kind people. And then, after a cuppa, biscuit, and blether, you’ll have all the strength you need to face whatever lies ahead of you.

It’s so easy to feel isolated and alone when the nights are longer than the days, and even when it is supposed to be light, the sun shyly hides away behind the clouds. But on Sundays we remember that no matter how dark it is outside, or even within your heart, Jesus is the light for the world.

So please come join us at the church – we can’t wait to meet you or welcome you back again!

May God bless you all.

Hi Everybody

And just like that, Christmas is around the corner!

It’s been so nice to welcome you all back to church this past 6 months. I’m really thankful that our church doors a now fully open again, and we can meet every Sunday to worship God and have fellowship with each other.

In Luke 1:38, after the angle told Mary that she was going to give birth to the Saviour of the world, Mary responded with these words: “I am the Lord's servant, may it happen to me as you have said.”

It’s my prayer that this Christmas, and all through 2022, we will be able to hear God’s voice the way Mary did, and respond with the same trust and enthusiasm.

May God bless you all this Christmas, in the new year, and forever more!

Nanda
