Thought for the Day

Thought for the Day is a very simple, straightforward way to get a short Bible verse or reflection straight to your phone – every day. It is a reminder that you are not alone and a chance to reflect on a verse or message that you may not have thought about for a while. All you need is a mobile phone and access to WhatsApp. Sign up via the office or on the sign up sheet in the vestibule.

Christian Aid Week

Personal Prayer

Personal prayer after church. If you would like someone from our prayer team to pray with you after morning worship in a quiet confidential setting please go to the Quiet Room after the service where a member of the team will be glad to share with you in prayer.

Home Groups

Kirk Session has decided that we would like to introduce home groups as an additional layer to our church life and community. Home groups provide opportunities for Bible study, personal prayer and fellowship in addition to Sunday morning worship and meetings of the prayer groups. They are an additional way of providing spiritual growth and development and are not a substitute for, or in competition with, Sunday morning public worship. More details on what home groups mean and the commitment involved can be found in the latest version of Pew News. If you are interested in joining a home group, there is a sign-up sheet in the vestibule which asks you for your name, address, contact details and preferences in terms of when to meet. Alternatively, please contact the Church office.
