  • Message from Rev. Peter Donald, Our Interim Moderator
    www.kiltarlityandkirkhill.org.uk Kiltarlity and Wardlaw Churches Message from Rev. Peter Donald, our Interim Moderator. Dear friends, Seeing news that Luis Palau is back in Inverness shortly, it reminded me of how he held up a particular verse to guide the huge mission events he fronted. It is in fact a verse which matters to us all, for it speaks in one sentence of what Jesus holds out to us in faith. “I came”, Jesus said, “that they may have life, and have it abundantly (or ‘in its fullness’)” (John 10.10). God gives of Himself to us, committing love, assuring us of mercy and forgiveness, pointing for us the way to go, because it matters how we live. It is God’s gift that we might live abundantly, knowing full measures of joy and peace and purpose. And this, so wonderfully, is God’s gift to all sorts of people. It does not depend on our background or intellectual ability, nor is it only for those who can afford it. Jesus’ passion to point people to himself was rooted in him being well aware that so many alternatives grasped at by the likes of you and me do not in the same way open up joy and peace and meaning. He offered himself as the one for us to keep close to on the good path, walking in the light. He offers himself still. What do you believe in ? Believe in Jesus who came to lead us into life ! And see the church therefore existing primarily to sustain folk in that faith; to help people to discover faith; to help people to deepen faith.

(1888: 5 canonical) Location (s) Whitechapel and Spitalfields, London, England (5 canonical) Jack the Ripper was an unidentified serial killer, active in mostly poor areas in and around London's Whitechapel area in 1888. Both in the materials of the criminal case, and in modern journalistic accounts, the killer was called Whitechapel's killer and a leather apron.
