Dear Friends,
What do you think? Has someone approached you for your response to the work of one of our committees or working
groups?
Last year the Kirk Session agreed to do a review of the work we are doing through our various working groups and committees to see how effective we are and how we can improve. As part of that review they were asked a number
of questions and they are invited to go beyond themselves and ask others. We see this as something that is important because the groups and committees help direct and support the work we do as a congregation, whether among
children’s and youth work, outreach, world church and worship. The review provides us with an opportunity to look again at what we are doing and to make
improvements.
Already some of the responses are coming in and they have been very helpful. One matter that seems to have been highlighted is that some people don’t know what is going on in the Church. We will be looking again and see how better we can communicate information about what is happening.
At the moment we pass on information through the Kirk News magazine, web page, notice board at the Church Centre and the Church news sheet for our Sunday Services. Information about decisions made at the Kirk Session and Congregation Board are mentioned monthly in the Kirk News. The annual stated meeting is open to all members and friends and there is an annual Report of the Life of the Congregation in the March issue of the Kirk News which looks back over the past year, highlights the new initiates we have undertaken and identifies some of the things we hope to be doing in the coming year. From time to time we also use the local press to pass on information.
There are so many good things happening here at Kemnay Church and we want to share them with others, but at the very centre of all we do is the sharing of the ‘Good News’ of Jesus Christ. We must never lose sight of the reason of
our being the Church and the work we have been given. May the Lord continue to bless us as we share His Good News with others.
Your Minister - John Renton
