The first Sunday of December 2025 marked 20 years of Rev Moffett as minister of our congregation.
After the morning service on 14th December we celebrated this together as a church family. Our clerk of session spoke of Rev Moffett as “formidable in praise, fervent in prayer, faithful in preaching”.
We give thanks to God for His goodness to us over these 20 years and continue to look forward with faith.
During our services ahead of and over the Christmas period we are thinking about the theme 'Preparing the Way of the Lord', following through the lead up to the birth of Jesus from Luke 1.

Special Harvest Offering to Building and Renovation Fund
God's love leads us to look upwards and outwards - to show our praise to Him, and to share His goodness with all.
During October we will also be able to share with others by collecting non-perishable foodstuffs for foodbank donation - these can be left in the vestibule on Sundays.

BRIDGE TO LIFE MISSION |
Please support this vital work with prayer. Commit to pray regularly for people you know.
Pray without ceasing 1 Thessalonians 5:17
If you would like to donate financially to the mission, please contact us for the bank account details.
As we look ahead to the autumn term restart of the different ministries associated with our congregation, we remember what the Bible says:
Unless the Lord builds the house, its builders labour in vain Psalm 127:1
Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit, says the Lord Almighty Zechariah 4:6
apart from Me, you can do nothing John 15:5
We therefore need to pray for the Lord's help and blessing on all our work.
A special series of meetings for prayer is planned for Tue 26th - Fri 29th August. These meetings will be held at 8.00pm each evening in the Magill Room.
Each evening we shall be focusing on particular organisations or aspects of our church life.
Also, please remember the times of prayer before our morning and evening services on Sundays. If you are able, come and join in the prayer meetings as we look to the Lord for His blessing.
