Welcome to Worship. Still in the season of Lent, following Why was Jesus Crucified? Today’s story reminds us that Jesus didn’t conform. What we perceive should happen doesn’t!

Our main focus is on perception – how is Jesus, Christianity, the Church perceived by others. Niall is our Depute Session Clerk and a trained Lay Worship Leader. In partnership with Rev Sarah, Niall is leading worship. His reflection on the story of the Prodigal Son is in part in his own story, and we are grateful for his honesty. He hopes that others will find it encouraging especially if like him they have come to faith as an adult. His message is not without its challenge yet he knows, from experience, the welcome of God. Thank you to Suzanne for the Scripture Reading.

Reading Luke 15:1-3, 11-32
