Welcome to Dyce Parish Church

Dear Friends,

Growing up, one of my favourite television programmes was ‘The Two Ronnie’s.’ The diminutive Ronnie Corbett, and the slightly larger Ronnie Barker.  Who can ever forget their sketch about ‘Fork ‘andles’? Comedy at its very best.

They would end their show the same way each time. Ronnie Corbett would say, “So it’s goodnight from me,” while Ronnie Barker would respond, “And it’s goodnight from him.”

Well, in a similar fashion, after 32 years of ministry, the last 23 having been spent in the parishes of Dyce and Newmachar, it is now time for myself and Sheena to say, “It’s goodbye from me, and it’s goodbye from her.”

It has been our privilege and joy to serve in these two parishes. The friendship’s we have formed in our time here are most precious to us both. Thank you all for your friendship, support, prayers and love.

So now we will shortly move to Inverbervie, to pastures new. We are looking forward to a new, exciting chapter in our lives. Our excitement however is tinged with sadness. We shall miss you. However, Inverbervie isn’t that far away, and visitor’s will always be most welcome. So, if you’re passing by, do drop in past.

May God continue to bless both congregations. Stand firm in the faith.  Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfector of our faith.  Let your light shine in the local communities and beyond, thereby revealing the love of Christ.

I end my final letter with the words of the apostle Paul in his first letter to the believers in Thessalonica. “May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.  The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it… The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.”

Your grateful minister (and wife),

Manson & Sheena
