In response to news from the Vatican that His Holiness Pope Francis has died, the Moderator has made the following statement:
 
May I express my condolences to the Catholic Church in Scotland following the news of the passing of His Holiness Pope Francis. We recall with gratitude the hospitality extended by His Holiness to representatives of the Church of Scotland and also the occasion of the Ecumenical Pilgrimage of Peace made by Pope Francis to South Sudan in the company of the Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland in 2023. In recalling his contribution to Christian witness, we hear renewed the call made by His Holiness in Laudato si’ to care for the earth as our common home, and in Fratelli tutti to discover the presence of Christ in each human being.
We join with all Christian people in the prayer of Pope Francis:
 
Grant that we Christians may live the Gospel,
discovering Christ in each human being,
recognizing him crucified
in the sufferings of the abandoned
and forgotten of our world,
and risen in each brother or sister
who makes a new start.
Amen.
 
May the blessed memory of Francis continue to serve as an example to the faithful people of God in our shared pilgrimage and in our common task of caring for God’s creation. May he rest in peace.
 
Rt Rev Dr Shaw Paterson
Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland.

What We Do

At our church, we strive to provide a welcoming and inclusive community where individuals can come together to deepen their faith and build meaningful connections with one another. Through our worship services, groups, and events, we offer opportunities for personal growth, spiritual exploration, and service to others. Our mission is to spread God’s love and message of hope to all who seek it, and we are dedicated to creating a safe and supportive environment where everyone can feel valued and appreciated.

As part of the Trinity there are three Sunday Schools which are on during Sunday Services.

Communion service is open to everyone. For more information, please contact the minister.

 

Sunday Service usually involves singing hymns, reciting prayers, and listening to a sermon.

Special Services include Christmas or Easter, with special hymns, readings, and sermons.

Lectionary Readings provide an opportunity to discuss the relevance of the Bible in modern society.
