Worship and Fellowship Worship Worship is at the
heart of our congregation's life, and services are held on Sundays at The sermons are Bible-based, and people are encouraged to
use their own Bible; the New International Version is the one used from the
pulpit, and a few copies are available in the vestibule for the use of those
who do not possess their own copy. A Midweek Service for praise, prayer and Bible-reading is
held on Wednesdays from Special family services include a Flower Service in June,
Harvest Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter. Other special services include
the Fishmarket service on a summer Sunday evening, Remembrance Day parade and
a Good Friday Communion Service. An induction loop system has been installed for people
with impaired hearing, and the 'T' position on a hearing aid should ensure a
clear signal. Toilets are situated in the west extension, with one being
specially adapted for disabled people. Car parking is kindly permitted in the grounds of the
Seaway Net Company. Sacraments The Sacrament of Communion is observed on the last Sundays
of April and October, as well as occasionaly after evening worship. Baptisms are normally conducted during morning worship by
previous arrangement with the Minister. In the case of Infant Baptism, at
least one of the parents must be a full member of the Church. Church Membership A Membership Class is held each year in preparation for
the Admission Service in April. The class covers the basics of Christian
faith and discipleship, and meets in November, February, march and April,
usually after morning service. There is no set age for joining, although
people do not usually join before 16, and nowadays there are often older
people in the class. People may attend the class and then decide whether they
feel ready to take their vows. People who are already members of other congregations and
have moved here will be welcome to join by Transference Certificate
("lines"), which can be obtained from the minister, Session Clerk
or Roll-Keeper of their former Congregation. Tape Ministry Recordings are made of most services, and cassettes may be
borrowed. Members sometimes visit housebound members with taped services and requests
for such visits are welcome. For further information, contact Anne Thomson (01261 815049). For People with a Handicap
