  • Listen to the Angel

    The angel said to them: ?Do not be afraid; for see, I am bringing you good news of great joy for all the people.: to you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, who is the Messiah, the Lord.? Let us listen to the angel this night.

  • Light

    Rejoice, rejoice – the light is coming back. The shortest day is past. I hate the darkness at this time of year. I've never understood why Christmas misses the solstice by just a couple of days. It would make more sense to me if they were o­ne and the same. I find the idea of…

  • Cat's Christmas Carol

    Tilly received a Christmas Card o­n Sunday. It features the Blessed Virgin holding the Christ-Child who is looking downwards to where a cat is sitting beside a bowl. The card bears the following rhyme by Dorothy Sayers: All praise to His bountiful name!I do not know why He came;But I'm sure this is true -…

  • Headlines

    I can forgive the Scottish Sun quite a lot for headlines like the o­ne they are using today – You Can be Sure of Chelle. This, of course is next to a picture of Michelle McManus, whom they think will win Pop Idol.

  • di-dah-dah-di-dah-dit

Questions are being raised about how such a person should have been put in a position of trust in a school environment.  I'm not at all surprised that such a thing could…

  • Experimental worship

    I wonder whether this area could sustain an experimental worship event every couple of months. I'm impressed by some of the things that I see o­n the web. It would be good to have some kind of worship service which was free from the constriction of a Sunday morning congregation and which was created from…

  • Trial

    He should be tried by an international tribunal.And those who sold him his weaponry.

  • Sunday Sermon 14/12/03 – Gaudate Sunday

    Rejoice, says the author of the epistle to the Philippians. Rejoice for the Lord is near. As our Advent countdown goes on, we know in a very special way that it is so. The Lord is very near. The one who is present with us always is also coming to us. And his coming is…

  • Silver Jubilee

    As is common, I received a mailing from a charity this morning asking for me to get the congregation to send money. This is not unusual – I bin many such mailings every week. This o­ne had taken the trouble to include a stamped addressed envelope, which is thoughtful though it will make me no…
