WELCOME

Yester, Bolton and Saltoun Church is the parish church in the villages of Gifford, Bolton and East and West Saltoun and their surrounding area in the heart of the beautiful East Lothian countryside, between the open moors of the Lammermuir Hills
and the Forth estuary with its sandy beaches and lovely harbours.

We seek to be a church where people of all generations within the community experience and celebrate the love of God.

Find out more about us, our worship, and about some of the things we do. Read our news and about the history of our parish.

We are also on facebook, instagram, twitter and youtube.

We are now back in the church building for some of our services. Find out more here, including the dates of upcoming in-person services, and the guidelines we all need to follow to keep ourselves and each other safe.​ All Sunday services are also available as video and sound recordings.

On Wednesday, 28 October, we’ll have a lunchtime service at 12noon at Bolton Church, thinking about the darker days of autumn, and what brightens them up for us. If you’d like to come along, please call Paul Sales by Tuesday evening, on 01620 811260.

What's on during the week

We have a Worship Team, a Social Planning Group, a Messy Church Team, and the Kirk Session with a Property Review Group and Finance Committee. Our usual activities - Coffee Mornings, choir, Prayer Group and Knitting Groups - will continue when it is again safe to do so.

Advent and Christmas this year might look different to what we know - but we'll aim to make them no less engaging and joyful. Here you can find out how you can get involved, for instance through contributing to an Advent Calendar, singing as part of a virtual choir for Lessons and Carols, or taking part in a pre-recorded Nativity.

Please stay in touch, through phone calls, this website, and our facebook page.
