Refreshments are served in the Kirk Hall after the service.

A Service in St Colmon Kirk Hall is held on 4th Sunday of every month at 10.00 am and provides easy access for those with mobility problems.

A service is held in Barrhill Memorial Hall on the on the third Sunday of March, June, September and December at 3pm and will reflect the Church year.

Reflection

Sunday 11th May 2025

Today, we looked at the context of the question that came to Jesus as to whether or not he was the Messiah. It came during the festival of the rededication of the temple. We looked at the answer he gave, and why he answered in the way that he did. He in effect said that he had already indicated who he was and that his actions too demonstrated his nature. In his life his authority was shown by his teaching and his ability to heal. Lastly, we considered the great words of gospel hope: that our Lord is the Good Shepherd, his sheep know his voice and non can be plucked from his hand. When we truly belong to Christ, his atoning death for his sheep is affectual for us. All of his sheep will eventually persevere. Therefore, believers should be encouraged even though they might face many trials and difficulties in this life, that they will be cared for by the Good Shepherd.

Every blessing,
Rev`d Theo Corney
