Laich of Moray Parish Church (formerly Lossiemouth Church of Scotland)

Grampian Coronavirus (COVID-19) Assistance Hub…

…is a website that has been set up to be a focal point for information and assistance for anyone affected by coronavirus anywhere in Grampian. There, you can find the services you need or links to information from across the area.

Access the website by CLICKING HERE.

Via the website, anyone can register (as an individual, as opposed to as an organisation) as a volunteer to help with the needy / self-isolating, or anyone in need to contact them as a central point. They would then contact a volunteer who lived close by to help with shopping or picking up medication for example.

The link again is HERE.

With the Covid-19 outbreak now affecting all aspects of daily life, the Church of Scotland’s guidance is that we have to cancel all services and meetings at St James’ until further notice.

It’s not our intention to ‘close down’ or turn our gaze inwards. Please get in touch with us if you need help. You can send a message via this website or via our Facebook page.

We remember Jesus’ words and the hope we have in Him:

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

John 16:33 New International Version

For reasons you will immediately understand, a number of regular events – and some special events – in the Church are having to be postponed and rearranged.

Quiz Night – 21st March 2020

This has been postponed to a date still to be fixed.

Singing groups

Rehearsals for the Praise Group and the Lossie Singers have been suspended until further notice. We are still holding Sunday services at St James’ at 10:00am, as usual, and Praise Group / Choir rehearsals will take place in the Church immediately before morning service from 9:30am each week.

Bi-weekly Wednesday drop-in

The Drop-in is also now on hold until further notice.

We are sorry it has been necessary to take these precautionary measures and we hope you will agree that they are sensible in the circumstances.

There will be a Ceilidh on Saturday 1st February 2020 in the church hall at 7pm.

Tickets cost £5.00 and are available from Charles Stewart, Rosemary Anderson or Kath Robertson – or send in an enquiry via the contact page on this website and we’ll get back to you quickly.

Stovies will be served.

Peter Brash and others will be providing the dance music and there will also be Highland dancers and some songs for listening or joining in.

Dancing is not compulsory!

Please come and support this social evening and bring friends if you wish.

Tickets are limited to 80 so please buy as soon as possible.

Come along to the Ceilidh Night at St James, and help make it a great night!

There will be a Christmas Praise concert in the church at St James’ on Sunday 15 December at 2.30pm.

This will include carol singing for all and various choir items.

Admission is free.

Refreshments will be available in the church hall afterwards.

Please come and join us for a time of praise and fellowship.
