A Look Ahead

January 11, 2015 by 2

This is the text of Rev. Graham Crawford’s Sermon for the Morning Service at St James on 11 January 2015.

Well, I hope you have all had a good start to your New Year.

We certainly had a great time down in Pitlochry at our house.

2015 has arrived and I have no doubt that the world will be a very different place by the time it leaves.

A searching question

How the world changes, and what will happen in the world, we have very little influence over, but we can still ask a more searching question which is: How will you be different, how will I be different, and how will this church be different by the time 2016 rolls around? [Read more…]

Good News Club

November 19, 2014 by 2

The St James’ Good News Club meets every Sunday at 11am.

The children go into the Church for the first part of the morning service, to enjoy the Children’s Talk from Mr Crawford, the Children’s songs and the Time of Praise in the service.

We then go out to the Fellowship for our own activities, which usually include a prayer, a song or two and some games and crafts.

Recent themes have included David and Goliath, and the Parable of the Sower.

In the lead up to Christmas 2014, we are making Chrismons.

These are Christmas decorations featuring Christian symbols, such as the Triumphant Cross and the Fish.

They help us to remember that Christmas is the celebration of Jesus’s birthday.

Drop-in at St James’

November 19, 2014 by 2

In early 2014, after much thought and prayer, two of our members, Rosemary Anderson and Elfriede Buchan, got together and came up with the idea of starting a Drop-in afternoon at St James’ Church Fellowship Hall.

This takes place every Wednesday from 2pm to 3.30pm.

Come along and join in the lively chat.

Enjoy a lovely cup of tea or coffee along with the wonderful home bakes. (Often, there is tablet, which is a great treat!).

The suggested donation is £1.00 (yes, one pound) and, through the collections so far, we have been able to replace the kitchen fridge.

A committed team of helpers run the Drop-in every week.

Coming along to the Drop-in is a great way to catch up with friends and meet new ones.

Why not pop along to the Drop-in some Wednesday afternoon?

Whether you come on your own or with friends, you will be very welcome.

Something to Pray

November 19, 2014 by 2

Father, I thank you that I am valuable to you.
I thank you that you hear my prayers.
I thank you that you know my needs.
Help me live in my true identity today.
Help me to be worry free.
By your Spirit, may I experience your peace afresh.
Amen.

Mouth of the River Lossie from the East Beach - Detail

Sale of St Gerardine’s Church Buildings delayed by artefacts

February 1, 2026 By 2

By way of an update regarding the sale of the former St. Gerardine’s High Church buildings, the property is “under offer”.

In the (pre-new East Beach Bridge) photograph below, St. Gerardine’s is the building with the spire, more or less in the middle of the picture. The former St. James’ Church (which remains open, as part of Laich of Moray Parich Church – see further below) is the building with the very pointy spire, towards the right hand side of the photo.

Mouth of the River Lossie, Lossiemouth

There are three historic artefacts which remain in the church which will have to be removed before the sale can finally proceed. These are: the Kinneddar Pillar, Drainie Memorial and Stotfield Disaster Memorial Plaque.

The Kirk Session of Laich of Moray Parish Church (formerly, until 31 January 2026, Lossiemouth Parish Church) are doing their best to relocate these items.

The Kirk Session have probably been able to find a new home for the Disaster Memorial Plaque but are still seeking a suitable place or places for the other two artefacts.

We have several local organisations and people assisting in this search, for whose help we are very grateful.

We will provide a further update whenever possible. Recent photos of the 3 historic artefacts are set out below.
