Cornerstone No. 194, page 2
Letter from the Interim Moderator
Greetings, one and all!
Lausanne is becoming a very special place in my heart – and in my timetable,
as the process of filling the Vacancy gathers pace!
Each of the Locum Ministers who has served
with you has expressed what a delight the
experience has been, and this does not
surprise me, given that I too, have found the
congregation,
committed,
caring
and
welcoming… a good omen for whoever comes
to be minister. The Locums have also noted
their pleasure in living at the Manse, which
they found most congenial…so that’s all good!
At least two of the recent Locums have
expressed a willingness to return in the New
Year – so there will be familiar faces, come
January.
And now, we wait – for the news of the
Vacancy to filter round the Church, the
advertisement in Life and Work to grab the attention, interest and heart of
someone – or several someones! And then the search can begin in earnest.
The Nominating Committee is demonstrating – as we would expect – the
wisdom, vision and patience needed to serve the congregation well in this
important Christian service, and we can have confidence in their insights and
faith.
I hope to manage to wangle a Sunday or two in Lausanne over the coming
months and I look forward to sharing in worship with a congregation that is full
of warm-hearted, faithful and fascinating people.
Every blessing, as always,
Laurence Twaddle
Introducing or reintroducing…
Rev. Dr. Alan Falconer, who will be our locum
minister in November & December
Marjorie and I are looking forward to our time with you in Lausanne. It is a
number of years since I conducted worship with you on occasions when Douglas
Murray was on Presbytery business or on holiday. Marjorie was heavily involved
for a number of years teaching the Lausanne Scottish Country Dancing Group.
