Last Sunday was a special day for us. In both the morning and evening there was a real sense of the Lord’s presence. I thought Robin’s sermon in the morning was a stunningly appropriate one for St Peters (and I suspect for many other congregations), and our evening communion – looking at Psalm 82 – helped a number of people. Our God is a God … Continue reading God’s Word for Church and Community – St Peters Services 25th Feb with Robin Sydserff, Andy Robertson – 1 Thessalonians 5 and Psalm 82
Each New Year I foolishly like to try and think ahead by making some predictions (not prophecies) about the coming year for the Church. This was a prediction for this year: 9) The Church will reach out amongst the poor. It seems to me that it is often the case that the richer and more middle-class the church, the more they talk about helping the … Continue reading Good News for the Poor – The September Record Editorial

Thirdly for me … Continue reading The Great Kings Wisdom – Sunday Sermon – 5th March – Andrew Robertson

It’s why some in the Free Church and other Presbyterian churches like … Continue reading Time for Mission – Presbyterian Style!
“We are pleased to announce the arrival of a new church in Angus. Grace Church was born on 1st November 2015, at 11am in the Scout Jubilee Hall, Montrose. Weighing in at 50 people it is hoped that she will grow in such a way that Christ will be her, so that his name may be glorified”
The Birth of a New Church
Yesterday yours truly and David Meredith drove up the coast road from Dundee to Montrose, to participate in the birth of a new church, Grace Church, Montrose. It was a beautiful drive in the glorious Angus sunshine, with the colours of autumn still magnificent. We did not really know what to expect and so it was with a mixture of apprehension and excitement that we found our way to the Scott Jubilee Hall in the centre of the town.
It was a wonderful morning. The folks in Montrose have leased the hall (which is largely used for guides and scouts) for six months and they have repainted it, and done the garden, planting new plants and removing weeds (somewhat apposite for a new church!).
