From the beginning of lockdown in 2020, the online newsletter of Cupar Old Parish Church became a focus for the church's life. I offered to join the small team who prepared weekly Reflections for it in support of our minister Rev Jeff Martin. Jeff followed a study guide, We Take the Road by Walking by Brian McLaren in many of his weekly sermons during the first year of restrictions. I followed his lead with digressions to respond to what was happening at the time; for some Saints' Days, and to consider some Bible passages from the Common Lectionary.I have never been much of an original thinker, preferring to recycle other people's insights. I always kept a large notebook of snippets and ideas for sermons and have dipped liberally into it in preparing these articles. Unfortunately, I didn't always note where I had found these bits and pieces and apologise if I have failed to attribute any of my quotes to their authors.Above all, my prayer is that we might all find renewed joy and hope as we walk the road of Christian faith together following this time of acute pandemic.
