the Kirk by local Droneography expert Liam Bullerwell who has
kindly agreed that it can be reproduced here
If you click the picture above
you can see Liam's Video
Drone Fly Past of the Church lasting 38 seconds. Please note
it takes a little while to load or it will buffer so its best to let
it load fully first before playing!
We are without a minister
at present, our new Interim Moderator from June 2024
is the Rev Liam Fraser. He will guide us through the
final stages of calling a minister.
Our grateful thanks go
both the Rev Gordon Jamieson and the Rev. Nanda Groenewald who have
previously both in turn undertaken the Interim Moderator
role during the last 3 years years and have guided us through to this
final stage.
The Parish
Profile is now on the Church of Scotland's website in order
to attempt to attract a minister and can be viewed

Hi everyone,
We sing a variety of styles including classic pop, country and

With an extensive repertoire, we tailor the set list to your
audience and venue. See us at regular Wee Concerts held in
Glenalmond hall.
We are in the process of planning our music entertainment for

Livingston Parishes
Grouping.
Each church shall continue with the

Areas
of Co-operation:
Deliver weekly
church services, joint pastoral care initiatives and community
involvement projects. Actively develop the mission skills of the
church elders and congregations to employ more of the untapped
and underutilised inherent talents within the congregations of
these three churches to encourage the young to participate and
lapsed members to reengage in the life of the church. Seek to
transform unjust structures of society, challenge violence of
every kind and pursue peace and reconciliation through
joint pastoral care initiatives and community care and youth
engagement projects. Actively develop further the
community support
initiatives, thrift
shops, community cafes and community events, to bring young and
old together in fellowship and fuller participation in the life
of the church.
Sustain and renew the life of the earth through shared
church, community and other local and world environment
protection projects. Actively develop further the eco church
activities already within the three churches and their links to
communities in other areas in Scotland and beyond.
