New St Andrew's Parish Church
Church of Scotland
Come in and learn about the Lord and His love
The Church of Scotland is Trinitarian in doctrine, Reformed in tradition and Presbyterian in policy. It exists to glorify God and to work for the advancement of Christ’s Kingdom throughout the world. As a national Church, it acknowledges a distinctive call and duty to bring the ordinances of religion to the people in every parish of Scotland through a territorial ministry. It co-operates with other Churches in various ecumenical bodies in Scotland and beyond.
The church is well attended with a good spread of age groups although a fair number could be classed as older. Regular worship takes place on Sunday mornings at 11am with a fairly traditional format. There is a Sunday School which attends for part of the service and then goes out to do its own activities. This means that the first part of the service is more geared to youngsters but is well received by young and old alike. The service generally lasts about an hour with the main diet of worship and praise coming from the CH4 hymnbook. We have purchased a Christian Copyright Licence which does allow us to use praise from alternative hymnbooks and this is generally well received. We follow the Christian Year and have special Sundays for different festivals and themes.
In addition to the weekly Sunday morning service we have evening or afternoon services on some Sundays in the year, some of which are of a less traditional format and are organised and led by a group of church members who are guided by the minister. Formal communion services are held on the first Sunday of March, June and September and on the last Sunday in November with informal communions being held following the 11am service on one Sunday of some other months.
Services are held at other times, sometimes in conjunction with other Church of Scotland congregations and sometimes with churches of other denominations.
