When you receive your Church newsletter you will see that this year there will be no Watchnight service in St. Bride’s, but instead everyone is invited to attend the service at Laggan, from 11 p.m. on Christmas Eve.  At the back of the church from today there are two sign-up sheets on which people are asked to write their names if they would like a lift to this service or if they can offer spaces in a car.

A new online Advent calendar will bring the true spirit of Christmas to life with 25 specially created videos made by members of the Church of Scotland ministries team. Each of the thought provoking, often hard-hitting, films feature trainee ministers, probationers, a deacon and youth workers from across the country who reflect on a word that symbolises the true meaning of the season.
