December
Christmas Day |  For
the Christmas day service, Hugh took the theme of 'communication'. Good
communication is essential for us to pass on the message and
understanding. The sermon started with an example of poor
communication, one we could all relate to, even if it appeared an
amusuing anecdote.The theme developed into the Word of God and how that
has been misunderstood through the ages, describing the prophets of the
old testament and then the new testament when Jesus taught us the Word,
in a language we could all understand.
Isaiah 52. from verse 7 - (Neil Cape)
John 1. 1-5, 9 (RSV) - (Joan Cape)

|  The
St. Mungo' s presentation of the age old story of the Nativity formed
the main part of the service on Sunday 18th. A seasonal service with a
different twist created by the Sunday School teachers, supported by the
members of your church.
Titled 'Stories of the Saviour' our
tale begins before the New Testament stories, in fact as all good
stories do, at the beginning!
Our resident scientists, members
Christine Jackson and Sandy Robertson took up the story, rolling
back time to the 'creation', when God made the world.

3rd Advent
Sunday | Our
minister Hugh recalled one summer in his student years, some 60 years
ago, serving petrol, when someone actually filled your tank for you.
Describing how he then took the customer payment and passed it to the
cashier dislayed how manual all work was in those days. A far cry from
today, where the garage near to him has eight pumps all automatic,
controlled by one person sat in a kiosk, also taking the customer
payments. More and more is automated, on-line, and built by robots.
What took 100 people in the 1950's to serve petrol, is now done by 6.
Bank
of England chief economist Andy Haldane quoted to the TUC only a month
ago that 15 million jobs in the UK, about 25% of all the jobs, are  at risk of being taken over by machines. This led on to the impact and 'fairness' of wealth distribution.
This
third Sunday of Advent we are ecouraged to remember the work of the Old
Testament prophets, and their divine judgement of Gods stated will, and
the new Testament teachings of the Kingdom of God.
Zacharias 2. 6-13 - (Janis Hogg)

2nd Advent
Sunday |  The
second and third Sunday's of Advent the gospel lessons direct us
to John the Baptist. Our sermon started by questioning his
outer cleanliness and how appealing this man would have been. He did
however attract people from Jerusalem and all Judea to receive 'inner
cleanliness' through baptism in the River Jordan.
Isaiah 11. 1-10 - (Neil Cape)
Matthew 3. 1-12 - (Bill Webster)

Opening
with the recent Haifa & Jerusalem forest fires, not uncommon in
holy land, may allegedly have been started deliberately.
Not
surprising given that Israeli and Palestinian hostilities go back over
3000 years, recorded by the pharaohs as early as 1450 bc.
Taking the
readings from the prophets Isaiah and Micah, we hear how a vision of
holy peace was preached by these prophets, and again by Matthew.
Isaiah 2: 1-5 - (Fiona Hutcheson)

November |  Hugh
Davidson built on the previous weeks Remembrance service, looking
at leadership, and the relationship between the
British monarchy and parliament, comparing our system to
alternatives in other countries. Using our readings he developed the
theme using the first book of Kings as a reference.

| Hugh
Davidson took a journey into his distant past when he was training for
the ministry, to adress our 'habit' of forgetfulness, and how we often
persuade ourselves that we have forgotten something in the past that
perhaps we are really ashamed of.
Using some of his own
personal experiences we hear how often what we want to forget, often
comes back from the deep depths of our minds. It requires courage to
stand up to our errors and the pain it caused to the person we have
wronged. Seeking forgiveness is not easy but once done will disperse
the bad memories that were lurking inside our head. This is why we
confess our sins to God at the start of our Sunday services. Hear the
full sermon.
