A Message from our Minister

Dear Friends,

I am writing this having just enjoyed both our driest May on record, but also particpated in our General Assembly - I say ours as it is ours, as part of the Church of Scotland we are firstly Inchinnan Parish, secondly Presbytery of Clyde, and thirdly part of General Assembly (not necessarily in that order). They are not separate entities from us, yes there are Minsters, Elders. Presbyters and Commissioners who might take leadership and decision making roles but the Church of Scotland does not have a hierarchical system of governance and we are all part of being the CofS, which is why each General Assembly has different people attending, and each year our Kirk Session appoint the Presbytery Elder to represent our congregation at those meetings - thanks to Jim Breingan for volunteering again this year.

BUT, the church as a congregation cannot grow, or move forward without all the church family working together and participating in it’s life, all to share the Good News of God with each other and the community we serve.  The theme for this years General Assembly - as I will have shared at our Praise Worship  on the 25th May - was Extravagant Love, and it is that love of Christ’s we are all trying to share in all that we do. Let’s work together to enable that sharing.

Extravagant Love : Ephesians 3:18b

‘how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ’

Your Ann
