Hymn 759

This hymn was used as a response during the prayer for the world and its people. Another lovely one: Come to me, come to me, weak and heavy laden; trust in me, lean on me. I will give you rest.  Nice, huh?

Hymn 141

We sang this at this morning’s service and I found it quite beautiful and helpful: Life of the World Oh the life of the world is a joy and a treasure, unfolding in beauty the green-growing tree, the changing of seasons in mountain and valley the stars and the bright restless sea. Oh the life [...]

Sunday service, 4 February 2012

On 25 January, I was able to walk safely to a school and pick up my grandson who had spent the day, as he does most weekdays, learning in school. Calum told me that he had had haggis for school lunch because it was Burns Day. We then travelled by car the few miles to Raigmore [...]

Hymn 168 – God weeps at the love withheld

This was read at the Sunday service on 4 September 2011. The topic was bullying and injustice. God weeps at love withheld, at strength misused, at children’s innocence abused, and, till we change the way we love, God weeps. God bleeds at anger’s fist, at trust betrayed, at women battered and afraid, and, till we [...]
