Letter from our Minister

Dear Friends,

Well folks that is the summer over and it is almost back to normal in the church ! The fullness of life is returning to Mearns Kirk and I think I am looking forward to it. I have been thinking a lot about what is before us and it certainly is exciting. But in order to realise the potential of our church life we all need to play our part.

I am tempted to give a big rallying call now but to be honest I am not going to do so. Augustine said love God and do what you like. Brilliant ! He knew what that really meant. So I say unto you, if you love God, if you are seeking to follow Jesus, then you know what to do in respect of you and Church.

Thanks to all who looked after things when I was on holiday. We have some really talented folks in our midst and I would like to see us build on that. I do hope that we will grow in lots of ways in all that is before us.

May God bless you and us as a church family.

Blessings !

Joe
