A prayer for Sunday 13 October

Lord God, You are the Creator.
You spoke and brought all things into existence.
We give You thanks for the beauty of autumn days and for the provision of Your harvest. You also made each and every one of us, creating us uniquely.
Thank You for all the different gifts You have given us so we can all play a part
in the building of Your Church here on earth, as the body of Christ.

We are sorry for the times that we don't use our gifts
or when we forget to do what You want us to do.
We are also sorry for the wrong things we have done, said or even thought this past week. Please help us to love You and follow You more nearly, day by day.

We thank You for the people in our lives that are special to us
and for the places You made that we love to visit.

We thank You that You are a great big God and that You hold us in your hands,
and because of that, we can take comfort, knowing You will always be with us and help us.
You are sovereign God; You know all things from the beginning to the end.
Thank You that we can trust in You. Help us to do so more and more.

Most of all, we give You thanks for giving us Your son, Jesus,
who died on the cross in our place for our sins
so that one day we can be made perfect with You in heaven.
And we thank You that You have given us the Holy Spirit to be our helper.
Please help us to share this good news of what You have done with others as we step into a new week.
In Jesus' name.

Amen

Welcome

Welcome to our website!

We are a congregation of the Church of Scotland with a passion for sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ. Our aim is that everyone in our town, parish and beyond will hear about the saving Grace of Jesus and our prayer is that many men, women, boys and girls will respond to His invitation to follow Him. We are a lively church with a lot going on for all-ages during the week, not just Sundays.

So take some time to look through this site to find out more about what s happening here. It will give you a flavour of who and what we are as a congregation. More immediate information can be found on our Facebook Page. We hope that as you browse our site and Facebook page, you will want to come and join us in worship and our other activities, but more importantly, that you may be encourage to find out more about Jesus.

Our church building has stood on its present site since 1805, overlooking the town and harbour. Adjacent to it stand the town cross and a large historic anchor, recovered from the bay, both of which together provide a symbolic reminder of the message of the church - that Jesus Christ, crucified and risen, is our steadfast anchor in life; and as our church tower was once used to guide boats into the harbour, it is our hope and prayer that Christ s light will guide you through life and, in time, into His 'heavenly harbour'.
