Happy New Year!

We want to wish everyone a Happy New Year!  2016 will probably flyby just as quickly as 2015 and we hope that you can come and visit us.  You can plan a visit by following the button below or if you want to speak to us click the ‘contact us’ button.  It really is that easy!

Planning a visit and contacting us is great but how can we connect with you in 2016?  Well there are numerous groups on during the week – catering for tiny tots to the more seasoned veterans amongst us!  Connect here and see all that is happening at Smithton Church.

Our blog on Wednesday discussed New Year’s Resolutions and what questions we should ask as we look to change.  Well how about starting 2016 of by reading the following article?

‘5 Reasons to Read the Entire Bible in 2016‘ encourages us to see the big picture of the Bible, allows us to connect the dots between Old and New Testaments and to see Jesus throughout!

New Year’s Resolutions

“None of these reasons for change really works because they put “me” at the center of my change project, and that’s pretty much what sin is.”

You don’t need a doctorate in psychology to know that round about this time of year gym memberships will have sky rocketed.  A New Year brings about a chance to start afresh at losing a bit of weight, cut back on the chocolates or both!

Tim Chester (author of over 20 books including ‘A meal with Jesus‘) has compiled 10 thought provoking questions to ask ourselves as we look towards 2016 and any changes that we wish to make. Is our desire to change, “to prove to ourselves to God, other people or ourselves”?  Follow the link here to read the article.

A farewell to the Minister

Where do we start?  If you have been with us over the farewell weekend, you will know how those close to the Merediths feel about them and the deep privilege it has been to know and serve with them.

We won’t repeat all that has been said but from the Sunday school kids, youth, members, deacons and elders it was a special weekend to look back on 31 years faithful of service.  An interview was led by Robin Gray speaking with David as they reflected on his time at Smithton.  Watch it below.

 

On Sunday, 27th of September 2015,  David led his final services as minister of Smithton Free Church and rewound the tape.  Preaching from Nehemiah 2, the first passage he spoke from at Smithton 31 years ago, he reassured us that he wasn’t using the same notes!

David’s ministry here at Smithton has been wonderfully fruitful and we thank God for it, and we also know that his ministry has been spread across Scotland, the U.K and even the rest of the world.  His sermons have been listened to and watched online for a number of years now, with over 451 audio sermons available online and there are more than 100 people on average listen per sermon.  Figures are not important but these are impressive and to quote our friends from South Uist, Scotland, ‘May God have all the glory’.

 

 

What a weekend and ‘May God have all the glory’.
