Weekly Diary
Coronavirus (COVID-19)
With the announcement that West Lothian is moving to Tier 4, the Kirk Session has taken the decision to close for public worship until the end of these restrictions. This is due to the reduced capacity in the church. The intention is to livestream a service at 11 AM each Sunday on the church Facebook page, and the service will then be available on the church web site later in the day at This week's service.
Church activities are currently on hold with the exception of the Foodbank on Tuesdays from 10 - 12 noon
Worship
Worship is currently suspended while West Lothian is under Tier 4 restrictions.
We are continuing to trial live streaming the service, for those not able to attend. There may be gaps in the live stream where there is recorded music, as this cannot be included for copyright reasons. The complete service will be available on the This Week's service page as soon as we can put up the links to the live streamed clips.
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.
Finance
Each December this church has retiring offerings for two charities, one national and one local. This year the chosen charities are respectively MIND and Team Jak. Providing West Lothian is out of tier 4 regulations, we will have retiring offerings at the two Sunday services on 13th and 20th December and, also, after the Christingle service on Christmas Eve.
For those members who are still not able to attend church, Ian McLean will be in the kitchen of the large hall on a Tuesday, when the Foodbank is on, to receive envelopes and donations for either the church or the charities. He will be there every Tuesday in December, except 29th, from 10.30am until 12 noon.
Funeral Announcement
The funeral of Sarah Millar Brown (Sally) will take place on the 4th of December at 1PM. The service can be followed live, or acccessed within the following week by using the site here.
You will need to enter the User name Risi1369 and the password 415381 to access the service.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.

Light in our darkness
During Advent, the stained glass windows behing the choir seats will be illuminated from within to spread a little light in our undoubtedly dark times. Think of what you can do to spread light in every sense of the word.
