WORSHIP |
We Worship in the Parish Church which is situated half way up the brae above the village on the right hand side of the road to Killen. The Old Free Church, which is located near the war memorial on the right hand side of the road as you approach from Inverness, is now a private dwelling. Our Services are held each Sunday morning at 10.00a.m Our Youth Group the S Club are with us for the first part of the service before leaving for their own activities. The Sacrament of the Lord's Supper is celebrated twice per year, during April and September. The Lord's Supper, is open to all those who love the Lord Jesus Christ and have made public profession of faith. Our Hymns are selected from Complete Mission Praise and are sung to an organ accompaniment. Our small pipe organ was built by Millers of Dundee in 1907 and we consider it to have a particularly pleasing tone. The Revised Standard Version of the Bible is in use as our pew bible, however readings are sometimes taken from other translations of the Bible if they are considered to be more appropriate. Elders and members of the congregation occasionally participate in worship by offering prayers, reading from scripture and speaking to the children. Joint services are sometimes held with the local Congregational Church and with our brethren in Fortrose and Rosemarkie. |
