What is in Kelvin's Head?

  • Prayers at a time of tragedy

    As I write this I’m hearing and seeing the news of the tragedy in George Square involving a bin lorry, unfold on twitter and news services. The accident is just about a 100 yards away from the Diocesan Office, an area I know well.

    My thoughts and prayers are there and it is hard not to think that I’ll know someone who was in the square at the time it happened this afternoon.

    Eternal God
    at this time of bewildering tragedy in the city
    help us to pray for those involved.
    For those in hospital, for those who have died,
    for those who rescue, for those who comfort,
    for medical staff and for witnesses passing,
    for all who wonder why.

    Lord in your mercy.
    Hear our prayer.

    Thank you, Kelvin, for this excellent sermon. I was lucky to attend the service last Sunday and am now lucky to have the chance to watch and read the sermon again. Having to deliver my first sermon in English in Nuernberg in two weeks time (some people try parachuting, for me preaching in English is more than enough thrill…….. ) I can get such a lot of inspiration from my St.Mary’s experience……….
