Services
This page gives our service times and explains the worship aids that we use. For a detailed description of our form of worship, see the Coming to church page. For information on all services taking place over the next few weeks, see our What's on? page.
Sunday Services
8.30 a.m. Holy Communion.
10.30 a.m. Sung Eucharist (except 3rd Sunday in month) or Family Eucharist (3rd Sunday in month). Followed by coffee/tea and biscuits in the Church Hall.
Parents are asked to take advantage of the crčche for babies and young children which meets in the Church Hall during the Sung Eucharist. The children come and join their parents in Church just before Holy Communion. The Family Eucharist is a service for people of all ages.

Special services for feast days, etc.
Please check What’s On? page for details.
Liturgy
When you arrive for a service, you’ll be handed three worship aids:
- A copy of the Scottish Liturgy 1982. Please follow the link for the full text. If you haven’t been to an Episcopal Church before, you may find it helpful to read through this Liturgy beforehand to get an idea of what happens. Large print copies are available.
- A copy of Common Praise. This is the hymn book that we use. Occasionally, you may receive Mission Praise or another book. Large print copies of Common Praise are available.
- A service sheet detailing the order of service and containing collects (group prayers) for the day and the words of any songs that are not in the issued hymn book.
If you’re in any doubt about what to do, please don’t be afraid to ask the people handing out the books! They’ll be happy to help. Many of our visitors haven’t been in an Episcopal Church before or else belong to Anglican-Episcopal churches which use different liturgies.
