Lossiemouth Church of Scotland

Our Songs of Praise service takes place on Sunday 26 August 2018 at 2.30pm in the Church.

Do come along and please spread the word.

A strawberry tea will follow in the Fellowship Hall.

Notes

Everything is free! Well… there will be a donation box for the teas, if anyone wishes to contribute, as you come into the Fellowship Hall. After deductions for expenses, any surplus money will go towards church funds.

There will still be a Sunday morning service of worship on this date – at the usual time of 10:00am.

If you’re not sure how to find the Church, see this page on the website.  The address of the Church is Prospect Terrace, Lossiemouth (it’s not Coulardhill – which Google Maps seems to think it is, at present, though we are trying to sort this out).

St James’ Church Christmas Concert 2017 will take place on Thursday 14th December at 7.30pm in the Church.

Refreshments will be served in the hall afterwards.

Who will be performing at the concert?

• The Praise Group,
• The Prospects,
• Good News Club Singers,
• Various solos/groups and instrumentalists, and
• The Handbell Ringers.

Tickets (including refreshments) are £5.00 from Buckley’s Newsagents (children get in free) or you can pay at the door.

Everyone is welcome and there’s plenty of room.

Hope to see you there!

This year the Remembrance Sunday service is in St James’ Church on 12 November at 11.30am.

It means there are a couple of points to note in relation to services on that Sunday:

• There is no Sunday service at St Gerardine’s High Church on that date because it is a joint service with St James’ Church for Remembrance Sunday.
• There is no 10:00am service at St James’.

Before the 11.30am service, there will be a short service at Lossiemouth War Memorial, Pitgaveny St, Lossiemouth IV31 6DF. It will begin at about 10.50am.

You are most welcome to attend either or both these services.

Additional notes – including parking information

Members of the Armed Forces and other uniformed organisations will meet in St James’ Square and march, accompanied by the brass band, to the War Memorial.

Rev. McKee, Rev. Munro and another members of clergy from RAF Lossiemouth will take part in the proceedings at the War Memorial.

At the end of this, those taking part will meet at the Town Hall, regroup, then march, with the brass band, to St James’ Church (i.e. from High Street onto Prospect Terrace, where St James’ Church is located).

Parking may be “difficult” in the vicinity of the church. Please note that – with thanks to our friends and neighbours there – the gated car park at St Gerardine’s High Church (at the junction of Prospect Terrace and St Gerardine’s Road) will be open and available for parking.

The service at St James’ Church will start at 11.30am approximately.

Tickets are now on sale for the performance of the musical, “Barnabas”, at St James’ Church – at 7.30pm on 20 September 2017.

While they were worshipping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.”  Acts 13:2

The musical tells the exciting story of Barnabas the Encourager, as he and Saul visit Cyprus on the first part of their missionary journey. As they travel from Salamis in the east to Paphos in the west, they share the Good News of Jesus with Jews and Gentiles. The story culminates in a dramatic encounter with the Roman Proconsul and a Jewish sorcerer. [Read more…]
