All Welcome!
The excitement of Christmas is always best experienced as you observe children approach the door behind which are the “presents”. We all will perhaps recall our own childhood excitement, frustration, anticipation and then wonder as the signal was given and we were “good to go” and discover the treasures awaiting us. All that stands between you and the treasure is some well-crafted wrapping paper and then all is revealed.
No doubt for many of us the great search has begun – what will I buy for X/Y/Z? With every present we gift, we hope that the reaction is one such as children display on their Christmas morning moments. We want to buy something that's just right for the one we're choosing for. A treasure that they'll treasure.
Many years ago, Jesus described the treasure that our faith is. In Matthew 13:44 we find him speaking of discovering the treasure of treasures …..“The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field.”
So this year, in the midst of all your treasure hunting for family and friends, why not take some time out, come and join us at Dalmeny or Queensferry Churches and discover the greatest ever treasure – it’s something just specially chosen for you – it's a perfect gift, it's just what you've always wanted and needed, it's something that will last for ever – and best of all this treasure is free!
We look forward to welcoming you to our Christmas season of events.
Every blessing,
Rev David Cameron
