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.

The Harvest Thanksgiving service at St James’ was on 07 October 2018.

Ruth Gosling again baked a Wheat Sheaf, as the focal point of the display of vegetables and fruit on the Communion Table.

She kindly took a series of photographs of the manufacturing process. She also confirmed that the recipe she uses can be found HERE.

In posting these images on social media, Ruth noted: “Well, it’s that time of year where I panic and get stressed for 4 hours whilst making a wheat sheaf for our harvest at church 😂 but I can breathe now, it’s all done.”

Thanks again, Ruth.
