The flower committee creates floral displays around the Church. After the Church service these are taken to members who are ill, bereaved or celebrating a special occasion.
If you would like to take part please contact the office.
Weekly Diary
Covid restrictions
All Church activities are currently on hold with the exception of the Foodbank on Tuesdays from 10 - 12 noon
Worship
With the return to tighter restrictions this January and following Church of Scotland guidelines, we will be closed for normal worship for the rest of the month at least. During this period, the service each week is presented on-line and is available on the church Facebook page, and on the church web site at This week's service. This will follow the pattern used during the previous lockdown, with recordings of spoken sections interspersed with video clips of praise items. We hope that you will still be blessed as you join in with others to share the service.
Next week's service will be led by David Wilkie.
Food bank
The food bank is now opening on a regular basis at its usual time of 10AM - 12 noon on a Tuesday morning in the Church Hall. Please spread the word that the foodbank is now operating again and consider donating non-perishable items.
Scam alert
There has been a report from a member of Presbytery of an attempted phone scam, where a caller tried to get information regarding a church account. Please be alert to any attempt to get details of your own personal or church accounts. Banks will never phone and seek personal, account or security information. If you are at all suspicious, end the call and call the bank through a number you know, or is shown on the back of a card, using a different phone.
Finance
Ian McLean will be in the kitchen of the large hall when the Foodbank is open on Tuesday, 26th January, from 10.30am until 12 noon, to receive WFO envelopes or any other donations for the church.

You can login to the website at any time to view a test connection (and it is strongly recommended that you do this) but you'll only be able to view the Live Webcast approx. 5 mins before the service start time. Please be aware this is a public building and the timing of the Live webcast is semi-automated to allow for services running early or late – please use your discretion if you can see activities not applicable to the service you are here to watch. Once the service has finished, it will take us up to 3 working days to get the 28-day Watch Again onto the website.
