A word or two from Mairi

From "The Link" Parishes Newsletter,

August 2024

​

Dear Friends,

Well autumn will soon be upon us and, as you probably
know, autumn is my favourite season in the entire year.
I just marvel at every single thing about it.
To me, autumn is like that crescendo you experience in the finest piece of music.

​

It’s also very much about change; a different sight, a different feel, a different smell, a different time. We don’t forget spring and summer as we gently let go so winter can begin to evolve. We don’t loose or forget the memories we have experienced, rather we hold onto and cherish them.

 

Our two churches also find themselves in a time of change but, unlike the seasons which faithfully follow one another year in year out, our two parishes enter a period of uncertainty. My prayer is that both congregations work together to grow and to flourish and that the Kingdom of God will grow here in our midst. Just like the seasons, there may well be more storms when we don’t expect them, but as we grow and unite together, becoming stronger together, loving and laughing together, sharing God’s table together, God will bless us.

 

There will always be a rainbow, sometimes you just have to look for it.

 

God Bless.

 

Rev Mairi
