Why church? Isn’t it irrelevant – something that belongs to yesterday? Isn’t it just for grannies? Well I don’t think it is (irrelevant that is) and it’s certainly not just grannies who regularly attend our church! The youngest is less than 6 months old; the eldest well into her eighties; and there are people from every decade in between. So why do we all belong to Elgin and Forres Free Church? Firstly, we have a strong attachment to a person. Not a young person or an old person but a person who is an eternally living person. It is our love and respect for Jesus Christ that brings us together every week, and if you’ve only ever heard those names used as swear words why not come along some Sunday and find out what they really mean. | |||||||||||
| Secondly, we have a concern for one another. It is not just a church – it’s a gathering of people who are interested in one another, who work together to help each other and who make an effort to maintain contact and to show that love in practical ways. | |||||||||||
| Thirdly we want to learn. When we get together we study the Bible. We do this in order to understand God; and in understanding more about God we also learn about the world he made. We don’t know everything; we don’t have answers to all the problems. But we do believe that by studying the one who made this world we will be better equipped to live in it. | |||||||||||
So why not give it a try? It may at first seem unfamiliar – particularly if you’re not used to church services. But as well as singing, praying, reading and listening there are opportunities to ask questions – after both Sunday services and on a Wednesday evening I am happy to respond to your enquiries and will try to resolve any issues you have. I don’t have all the answers but I’m willing to listen. If you want to contact me details are on the Contact Us page. | |||||||||||
