Burghead congregation is rejoicing in the Lord’s goodness! Seven new members were added to the roll at last month’s communion. Literally, there were tears of joy, as a small congregation that had experienced the loss of many faithful stalwarts, including its six elders and two deacons, over the past few years, thanked God for such an encouragement.

Five of the new members transferred their membership from other churches, four from the Church of Scotland. It was a thrill to see two of our own men profess faith in Christ. A number of others join with us on a regular basis. It’s such a joy to see two little children, with Mum and Dad! The dad, trained in youth work, is interested in doing something in Burghead. We have a real burden for the young and have been praying for a number of years that the Lord would send someone. David was very involved in youth work in the church he attended. A retired Church of Scotland minister and his wife worship with us very regularly. He has given supply on a number of occasions; the warmth of his preaching is so much appreciated and the folks love him.

To our God, who truly does the exceeding and abundant in His time, we give all the praise!
