St James' Church of Scotland, Lossiemouth
For Christ, For You
Tickets are available from Katherine Robertson (via this website), Buckley’s Post Office and Unique. The tickets cost £5 each.
The choir are performing a wide variety of songs which will be sung mostly in English. The programme includes religious music, songs from musicals, folk and light popular music.
We are excited to be running a children’s holiday club in conjunction with the wonderful Out of the Box.
Out of the Box (Scotland) Ltd (OOTB) is a charity set up in 2004 to provide Christian outreach using puppetry, song and other forms of performing arts.
Chris Watt, Children’s Worker with OOTB, will lead the club, which will be held in the Hall at St James’ Church from 10am to 12 noon, Monday to Friday (15 – 19 July 2019).
At the lower age level, this means children who, by July 2019, have completed Primary 1 (it does not include children who will be starting P1 in August 2019).
The material was written by Chris and his colleagues at OOTB.
It has an outdoor adventure theme and includes videos shot in the Cairngorms, giving everything a “local” feel. As you would expect, there will be plenty of opportunity for craft-making, action songs, Bible stories, puppets, challenges and loads of fun (plus juice and snacks).
Margaret Burns and Rev. Geoff McKee have given talks to children at Hythehill and St Gerardine’s Primary Schools in the week beginning 10 June 2019 and children have received postcard flyers about the Club and registration forms. These should be returned by 24 June 2019 but “late” returns are still acceptable.
However, places may have to be limited. The room we use for the Club has a capacity of 80 and there will be up to 20 adult helpers. (From our previous experience with Holiday Clubs, we do not expect to be oversubscribed but you never know).
If there are still places available after 24 June (and we confirm that there are still places!), registration will remain open until all places are taken.
If you have any questions at this point about the Children’s Holiday Club in Lossiemouth, feel free to contact us via this website.
You can download a PDF consent/registration form by clicking here – or a Word version of the form by clicking here. Forms can be submitted to Peter Brash via the btinternet email address at the foot of the flyer image, below.

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.
Mulled wine and shortbread will be served in the Fellowship Hall from 10.30pm. Please come along early to enjoy some social time together.
This is the annual combined Christmas Day service shared among St James’, St Gerardine’s and the United Free Church. Everyone welcome.
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.
