SERVICESOur services take place every Sunday at 10am - usually in Yester Church in Gifford on the first and third Sunday, at Bolton Church on the second, and at Saltoun Church on the fourth Sunday each month. We also have a Sunday Club, for children of preschool and primary school age, during the main service on the first Sunday of the month.
A video recording of the service is available here each week, and sound recordings are available on CD - please contact us if you would like to receive one. |
Everyone is very welcome at our services. Please wear a facemask over your mouth and nose (with the exception of those who are medically exempt and children under the age of 12). Please only attend in person if you are not currently isolating because of a risk of covid, do not currently have any symptoms of the illness or have tested positive for it, or have been in contact with someone who falls into any of these categories. Thank you.

We aim to offer family services that are personal to you, and all marriage services are planned collaboratively by the couple and the minister. If you would like to get married here, please contact the minister who is happy to discuss your plans on an informal basis, before making any other arrangements. |
BAPTISMIf you would like your child or yourself to be baptised in our church, please contact the minister to make further arrangements.
We will usually celebrate a Baptism as part of a Sunday morning service. Your family and friends are very welcome to join us in this celebration. |
