Summer has arrived…

After a pretty miserable April and May it feels like summer has arrived, for now anyway. If you're not local, the lovely photo on this blog post was taken in the Meadows which is our neck of the woods - not even half a mile away. The Meadows was where the Buccleuch...

Communion and other news

Communion and other news

Last Sunday we had the first Communion services in what felt like a very long time indeed. Thanks to Covid, even Communion was different from what we are accustomed to. We had single portions of bread (or tiny wafer thing) and grape juice - quite a change from our...

The Power of Christian Hope

Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who...
