Pray For Our Community Continue to pray for all those who work in the NHS and health services, and for those who have the responsibilities of leadership and decision-making as we respond to the coronavirus outbreak.
A Prayer for Sunday 25 October
Lord our God,
We turn to you,
As the One who has spoken in times past,
And ask that that you would speak to us in times present.
Lord, in your mercy,
Hear our prayer.
Lord our God,
In our response,
We listen for your Word
And the call to love you with heart and soul and mind.
Lord, in your mercy,
Hear our prayer.
Lord our God,
In the living out of our response,
We offer all that we are,
Knowing you have given all through Christ our Lord.
Lord, in your mercy,
Hear our prayer.
Lord our God,
We turn to you,
As the One who has made us in your image,
And who makes our neighbour in that same image.
Lord, in your mercy
Hear our prayer.
Lord our God,
In our response,
We journey with our neighbour
And seek to love them as you command.
Lord, in your mercy,
Hear our prayer.
Lord our God,
In the living out of our response,
We stand together with our neighbour,
Knowing you stand together with us through Christ our Lord.
Lord, in your mercy,
Hear our prayer.
Amen

Coronavirus advice

Catch your cough or sneeze in a tissue and dispose in a bin available
We are a congregation of the Church of Scotland with a passion for sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ.
Our aim is that everyone in our town, parish and beyond will hear about the saving Grace of Jesus and our prayer is that many men, women,
boys and girls will respond to His invitation to follow Him. We are a lively church with a lot going on for all-ages during the week, not just Sundays.
So take some time to look through this site to find out more about what’s happening here.
It will give you a flavour of who and what we are as a congregation. More immediate information can be found on our Facebook Page.
We hope that as you browse our site and Facebook page, you will want to come and join us in worship and our other activities, but more importantly, that you may be encourage to find out more about Jesus.
Our church building has stood on its present site since 1805, overlooking the town and harbour.
Adjacent to it stand the town cross and a large historic anchor, recovered from the bay,
both of which together provide a symbolic reminder of the message of the church - that Jesus Christ, crucified and risen, is our steadfast anchor in life;
and as our church tower was once used to guide boats into the harbour, it is our hope and prayer that Christ’s light will guide you through life and,
in time, into His 'heavenly harbour'.
