If you feel more comfortable sitting during the items of praise, please feel free to do so.
After Morning Worship Fellowship : After Morning Worship today Tea , Coffee, Juice and biscuits will be served in the Church. Please stay behind for as long or short a time as you can manage and enjoy a time of fellowship with other members of the congregation and with visitors to our church.

Sunday School and Youth Fellowship meet every Sunday during the school term. They meet initially in the Church before moving to the Church Hall.

Harvest Thanksgiving Service : This year the service will be held in the morning of Sunday 1 October. Further details will follow shortly.
Summer Opening of the Church : : Last year the church was open for June, July and the first three weeks of August and attracted 3,642 visitors.
This year we could not open the church for two weeks due to the work on the roof of the church and for a further 5 days for funerals. In effect there were three weeks in which the church was closed.
Nevertheless in this shortened period the church was visited by 4,862 visitors !
Again the Minister and Kirk Session would like to thank all those who welcomed these visitors and especially Ishbel Beattie for organising the opening.
