At the moment we have a few ladies and one gentleman who regularly attend and we are keen to welcome any new members who would like to

come along and join us.

If you enjoy Scottish Country Dancing or would like to learn some Scottish Country Dances, you will be made very welcome.

We meet from September through till April, so please feel free to come along and enjoy the light hearted exercise, no need for special dresses or tartan trews, some comfortable soft shoes is all that's required.

We hope to see you soon!

Weekly Diary

Worship

Our service next Sunday will be at the usual time of 11AM. The service will be led by David Wilkie. There will be tea and coffee after the service in the Large Hall. This will be the second Sunday in Advent and is our Christmas gift service. The congregation is asked to bring a gift for a child or young person and lay it, unwrapped, below the Chriistmas tree. All the gifts will be distributed by River Kids charity in Livingston to those in need this Christmas.

We hope to see you there.
