So, as most of you will know, we have recently move house and are now living a bit outside Dundee in the country. It’s quiet and Dexy is loving the walks.
As friends have been coming to visit, we have been giving directions, often finishing with the phrase ‘you can’t miss it’. Turns out, that’s not true as a few have already and we have had to be on the phone to them to give them further directions.
Question is, it’s that time of year and, will Santa know where I am? Well, that got me thinking about directions…so
It seems like hardly anytime at all since I started here, but here we are, 2nd Christmas, and it’s got me reflecting about how far we have come as a church in such a short space of time.
When I arrived, people were quick to tell me that we were a small, aging congregation and that we couldn’t do much…..
Well, I beg to differ…..2025, to me, is a year to look back and celebrate a whole string of successes. We have hosted and achieved so much as a church, from weekly openings, to concerts, lunches, and choirs.
We have opened our doors and let the community in, and it is making a difference.
So…..back to the question, Will Santa know where I am!
Thing is, if you believe you are on the good list, then he’s sure to find you. But for good things to come your way, you must believe that they are possible first.
As we enter a new year, and the calendar turns to 2026, do we believe that we have set a new direction for our church? Are we going somewhere new.
I believe we have and have the potential to do more, lets encourage each other, let us involve the new faces that at are coming.
Let’s break new ground and give people the directions that they need to find us.
God bless you all as we enter 2026
Your friend and minister
Alan
