Young Church

Our Young Church meet every Sunday in the Angel Room and all children are welcome to join us.

  We pray with the Young Church: Thank you, God, for the amazing world you have created for us to live in. Open our eyes to see all the good things you have made. Amen

This week try to live your faith out in watching for signs of spring and each time you see one, say, 'Thank you, God, for your world. Amen".


There will be a meeting of the Trustees of the Friends of the Holy Rude tomorrow night Monday 6th February at 7.30 pm in the Session Room


HOMELESSNESS SUNDAY Thank you to everyone who contributed with either money or goods to last Sunday’s appeal for Start-Up Stirling. We raised £180 and the large donation of goods for the packs will go to the new, larger unit at the Stirling Business Park this week. Stirling Council’s figures for last year showed that twice as many people  were waiting to go into their own tenancies in 2011 as five years previously, so the help you have given is all the more appreciated.  Janet Craig.


SOS (Save Old Stamps) for World Mission.  With so many extra letters and cards which have been mailed at this time of year we are hoping that you will continue the good work and remember our box on the desk at the back of the Church where you can place all your used stamps in support of the work of World Mission.




Church Office Hours:
At the moment the office is not open every Wednesday – if you have an intimation please phone Ann Richardson on 01259 761309 or ann.monteith AT gmail.com.
