Rev Grant Maclaughlan writes:

There are three words that every person needs to hear, whether from a spouse, a partner, a parent, a child, a friend…
“I love you!”

We all long to know that we are loved by others. The Christmas Story is a love story, the moment when God declared, “I love you” to all of humanity through the coming of Jesus. This act of love is expressed through the words of the traditional carol.

Love came down at Christmas,
love all lovely, Love divine;
Love was born at Christmas;
star and angels gave the sign.

God’s love for us is generous, sacrificial, forgiving, life refreshing and it is a love which never gives up.

Why not take a moment and quietly reflect on the words “God Loves Me”. Repeat them slowly in your mind.

This Christmas may we all hear and experience the wonder of God’s love.”

Everyone is welcome to join us for any of our services which will be led by our Minister, Rev. Grant Maclaughlan.

As Dundee’s Lord Provost Bill Campbell invites citizens to take part in a National Moment of Reflection ahead of the State Funeral of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, we will open the Church building on Sunday 18th September from 7pm, with those present marking the national silence at 8pm.

This will be an opportunity for people to come in to reflect and pray. At this time of national grief, for some it will be a reminder of personal loss.

For anyone who is struggling with a sense of grief, Grant will also be available to talk to gmaclaughlan@churchofscotland.org.uk
