From Thursday 16 February 2023 there will be a time when the Church Hall will be open for warmth and refreshments each week.

Join us in the celebrations – late on Christmas Eve, on Christmas Day morning and for the perfect start 🙂 to your 2023. Here are the times and locations of the Lossiemouth Church of Scotland services for the Christmas period 2022-23.

The Sunday service at St. James’ on 13 November 2022 is a joint service with St. Gerardine’s High Church for Remembrance Sunday. (In other words, this year (as in alternate years on this occasion) there is no service in St. Gerardine’s).

The service will take place at St. James’ Church at 11.30am.

Worship will be led by Rev. Geoff McKee and Rev. Christine McWhirter.

Everyone knows about the terrible events which continue to unfold in the Ukraine.

This is where the idea of bell ringing – as a means to show solidarity with, and support for, the people of Ukraine – has come from: a tweet by the Mayor of Lviv, Andriy Sadovyi, on 08 March 2022.

We have rung the bell at St James’ Church up to 107 times every day at 4pm from Thursday, 10 March 2022.

Daily bell-ringing continued until 24 April 2022, after which we moved to ringing the bell every Thursday at 4pm – from 28 April 2022.

We will have our Harvest Thanksgiving Service on Sunday 02 October at 10:00am and then there will be a special “Songs of Praise” Service in the church at 2:00pm to which all are welcome.

You’re also welcome to come to the Harvest Thanksgiving Service. 🙂

The church’s Social Events group are planning a once-a-month music event at St. James’ on a Sunday afternoon at the start of every month.

This begins with a Songs of Praise which will consist of hymn singing for all, readings and a few other musical items.

Any donations received will be for church funds.
