Praise Group

(NOTE: As from March 2020, rehearsals of the Praise Group are suspended until further notice, though there is still a practice from 9:30am every Sunday before morning service).

We are very lucky to have Katherine Robertson as such an inspirational Praise Group musical director.

We meet in the Fellowship Hall at St James’ Church on Friday evenings from 7:00pm, throughout much of the year.

We welcome singers of all levels of experience and ability. No musical training is required. You do not have to be able to read music.

The emphasis is on praising God and having fun.

The easiest way to get a flavour of what we have done in the past and are likely to do in the future is to read some of the following articles from the website (links below).  As you will see, the Musicals of Roger Jones continue to shape much of the form and content of our praise and worship. We are lucky that Roger and his team have visited us on several occasions to perform his Musicals – e.g. Wildfire, Rock, Jailbreak and, most recently, Barnabas.

Please do consider joining us.  You will be made very welcome.

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.

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.
