Worship Our worship centres on the celebration of the eucharist and on daily prayer. The basic pattern of the eucharist is the same at every service: we gather and pray; listen to readings from the bible; hear a sermon (usually); offer prayers for ourselves and others; share in communion; and are sent out to live Christ's love in the world. During the course of the week, we celebrate the eucharist in a whole variety of ways-- with old language and new, formally and informally, in quiet or with music. Daily prayer follows the Franciscan office, Celebrating Common Prayer. Each service lasts for about 20 minutes and offers a time to pray the psalms, reflect on scripture, and pray for the church, the community and the concerns of each day. |

Service Times Sundays
Most Sundays we use the 1982 Scottish Liturgy. During Advent and Lent, and on the last Sunday of each month we use the 1970 Scottish Liturgy. At festivals and on the last Sunday of each month we usually have incense.
Tuesdays
The Tuesday evening eucharist is the most informal of our communion services. We gather at the back of the church in a circle, and pass the bread and wine to each other at communion. Thursdays
