Our partners

We operate with Rosyth Methodist Church under a “Local Ecumenical Partnership” (LEP), as described at this link, so we have some of our own activities, but many are shared.

Methodist services

Methodist worship is held each Sunday at 11.00am, led by ministers or local preachers from the Edinburgh and Forth Circuit. Sunday School and crèche facilities are provided during the service.

The 2nd Sunday of the month is for the Young Church. “Sunday Funday” starts at 9.00am in the Church Lounge with a family breakfast, after which the young children show their creative skills through craft activities linked to a biblical theme, and at 11.00am there is an all-age service in the church.

On the 4th Sunday the partners worship together, as you will see from this link.

Mission

Both churches, lay and clergy, work ecumenically with the other churches in Rosyth. We involve the wider community in our Sunday@Six worship, and join with the other churches in Rosyth in the Christmas Nativity event and open-air events on Palm Sunday and Good Friday.

The Church grows through looking outwards, so we have reflected further on this important part of our work at this link.

What we do together

Wednesday Fellowship is open to everyone, both men and women, and all are warmly welcomed. The Fellowship meets at 2.15pm in the Church Lounge from September to May except January, and is a friendly gathering. As well as a cup of tea, and a short time for devotion, there is usually a guest speaker. For more information contact Mary Kidd (01383 872332) or Mary Dempster (01383 721252).

Bible Study forms an important part of our activities and two house groups organised by Methodist members meet regularly to discuss and reflect on specific chosen themes.

An ecumenical study group is held at St Columba’s Church, Torridon Lane, Rosyth. Meetings are usually on the first Monday of each month, and weekly during Advent and Lent. Contact Alan Taylor (01383 823902, email athtaylor@btinternet.com).

There is a Traidcraft stall in the Crush Hall on the 4th Sunday of each month, immediately before and after the 11am service.

We support Christian Aid by participating in fund-raising functions throughout the year, and some of us also help with door-to-door collections during Christian Aid Week.

Community use of the church premises

The church premises are well used throughout the week, both during the day and in the evening, and include hirings as well as church activities. Full details at this link.
