The impact of the global
pandemic in 2020 had forced us for a time to stop many
of our usual activities, but the vital work of the Church went on and services
went online for a while (scroll down to see what we did)
The Church of Scotland also created a way to make one off or regular payments online by PayPal either to
their
General Fund or to individual churches .https://churchofscotland.org.uk/donate
and select 'Kirk of Calder'

The Kirk was very pleased to be selected to host West Lothian Council's Memorial service for the Queen on Friday 16th September
We are deeply saddened by the passing of Her Majesty The Queen.
She selflessly dedicated over 70 years of her life to serving her country and the Commonwealth.
We join the nation and the Royal Family in their mourning and offer our heartfelt condolences
The church bell was rung 96 times at 12 noon on Friday 9th September 2022 to mark each one of those remarkable years
A book of Condolences was available for signing in the Church.
