A Message from our Minister

Dear Friends

I hope you were able to join with us, or with others, over the Easter period. Some of us went to Paisley Oakshaw Trinity, Paisley St. Georges and the Abbey on Holy Week before our own Holy Week services started on the Thursday. Each gave a different worship experience that helped us journey through the week. Our Maundy Thursday Communion around the Seder Plate at the back of the sanctuary was a wonderful communal sharing of 'The Last Supper', and Good Friday a sober reminder of what Jesus endured for all people. Then on Easter Sunday at 7am Sunrise there was the worship at All Hallows where there were reports of a large Easter Bunny appearing, breakfast and Communion back at the church before our 10:45am Easter Worship.

Easter might already be a distant memory, although technically the church is still in Easter time until Pentecost, but the meaning of it should never be distant. Jesus died to bring us into a closer relationship with God, to give us hope in life knowing that we are forgiven, freed, loved and God's beloved children. So let us live that way, and in doing so keep the joy of Easter in our hearts even when life is challenging.

Yours Ann
