Remembrance Sunday Lossiemouth 2018 – 11 November 2018 – No service at St James

November 8, 2018 by 2

Please note that, for Remembrance Sunday, the Service will be at St. Gerardine’s High this year – at 11.30am – preceded by the service at the War Memorial at 10.45am.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them.

Laurence Binyon, For The Fallen

A Wheat Sheaf for Harvest Thanksgiving

October 8, 2018 by 2

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.

Songs of Praise at St James’ Church – Sunday 26 August 2018

August 19, 2018 by 2

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).

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.

Mouth of the River Lossie, Lossiemouth

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.
