Parish Profile

Welcome

St Colmon is a rural church set in the Stinchar Valley, one of the most beautiful parts of Ayrshire.

The parish covers four villages: Colmonell, Barrhill, Pinwherry and Lendalfoot. St Colmon Parish Church is linked with the neighbouring Ballantrae Parish Church. We are a church keen to welcome locals and visitors as we learn more about what our faith means to us and how we can better serve God in our communities and in the world.

Reflection

Sunday 13th April 2025

Palm Sunday

Today, we looked at Jesus riding into Jerusalem on a donkey and that first Palm Sunday. We noted how this dramatic act put him in centre stage so that all would know of him. We looked at how this was a claim to be Zions king and at how royal coronation symbolism was used and how prophecy was fulfilled.
We considered the reaction of the people, how some rejoiced and some were critical. We thought of how the Lord must have rejoiced but also filled with sadness that people were to reject him.
We reflected on the costliness of Holy Week and the great love of Jesus for all mankind.
We were urged to look to our motives and seek to be moved as we reflect again on the last week of Jesus life.
Every blessing,

Rev`d Theo Corney
