Our Faith

 

Central to the Church of Scotland is our love and worship of God through following the teachings and examples of Jesus Christ. We express our love for God by our love and practical care for each other and for those we live with and encounter in our daily lives.

Meldrum & Bourtie Parish Church play a crucial part across the range of communities, in our Parish.  Pastoral care of our parishoners is an essential part of Christ's calling to the Church, particularly in times of need.

 

How We Worship

 

Worship within the Church of Scotland is for everybody, regardless of age, nationality, status or ability.   The Minister is responsible for leading worship in both Meldrum & Bourtie Churches, church members including, elders and readers are involved in both planning and helping to lead worship from time to time.

 

Regular services of worship are at the heart of the life of the Church, this also includes our prayer groups, Sunday school, Bible study classes, the Guild, social activities and support groups for people facing problems.

 

Music is an essential part of the Church's worship and in Meldrum this can take a wide variety of different forms, such as the use of on-screen visuals and recordings.  Our Sunday morning services are accompanied by one of our organists.

 

Preaching is central to the Church of Scotland's way of worshipping God. The minister will share a message selected from the Bible. Preaching aims to help people interpret and apply the Bible's teaching to modern life today. 

 

Holy Communion

 

Holy Communion, also called the Lord's Supper, is open to all those who love the Lord Jesus Christ.  We celebrate Communion on a regular basis, dates and further information about the next upcoming Communion services can be found on our diary page and in our Connect Magazine.
