members, Allan Campbell, who works with the Scottish Bible Society and

Make yourself at home
There are two services
of worship every Sunday of the year.
The songs and hymns
are all projected onto the front wall and comprise a
balanced diet of traditional and more contemporary songs - which
probably means there are some that you'll quite like and others that ..
well, others! But, hey, see it as a challenge and learn to
enjoy them anyway!
After each
service there's the chance to chat, chill or just chew on the cud in the nearby hall
- with refreshments available
10.30am
If you want a good seat come early - it's
usually pretty full! (Actually you're best to come late
because the comfiest seats with most leg room are down at the front and
in good Scottish style they're generally the last seats to be taken!)
Everyone is catered for! There's a
crèche available for the under 3's, and the needs of children and
young people, too, are met.
Most Sundays we break after maybe 20/25
minutes or so of the service, with the children and young people dispersing to different parts of the
complex as we all try and get our heads round the
exciting, challenging and sometimes rather scary truths the Bible sets
before us in a way appropriate to our age and stage.
But some
Sundays adults and children stick under the one roof and share the whole thing together.
6.30pm
This service takes a varied form and often allows pressing issues to
be addressed at greater depth. As one of the regular worshippers
said recently -
"...you never know
just quite what to expect!"
Celebrating Communion
On the last Sunday in January, April, and October,
and on the second last Sunday in June, the sacrament of communion is
celebrated at both services - and also, on these Sundays, at a briefer
afternoon service running from 3pm.
You can receive tapes of the services -
if you'd like to pick up on that option just
contact the Office.
