Christmas Services in Lossiemouth 2018

December 19, 2018 by 2

We look forward to welcoming you to the 2 main joint services over Christmas within the linkage of St Gerardine’s High Church and St James’ Church. Our minister, Rev. Geoff McKee, will be leading the worship on both these occasions.

Christmas Services

Christmas Eve Watchnight Service at St James at 11:15pm

Mulled wine and shortbread will be served in the Fellowship Hall from 10.30pm. Please come along early to enjoy some social time together.

Christmas Day Service at St Gerardine’s High Church at 10:00am

This is the annual combined Christmas Day service shared among St James’, St Gerardine’s and the United Free Church. Everyone welcome.

Other services

The service on Sunday 23 December 2018 at 10:00am is in St James’ (link to location map).

It is a service of Nine Lessons and Carols. Come and hear the Christmas story with readings from the Old Testament (Genesis and Isaiah) and the New Testament (from the Gospels of Luke, Matthew and John). We’ll also light 4 of our Advent candles during the service (this being the 4th Sunday of Advent).

It’s also a chance to sing some favourite Christmas Carols.

After the service, we’ll have tea and coffee in the Fellowship Hall, to which everyone is welcome.

We hope you will be able to join with us.

The service on Sunday 30th December at St James’ is at 10:00am when the service will be taken by St James’ Kirk Session.

 

We hope to see you at one or more of these services.

We wish you health and happiness this Christmas and a peaceful New Year.

John 3:16 (New International Version)

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

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.

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.
