Community Cinema Screening | Sat 31st January

We’d love for you to join us for our next film screening on Sat 31st January. 

Our movie is a charming and witty celebration of music, friendship, and growing older disgracefully. Set in a retirement home for former opera stars, the arrival of a sharp-tongued new resident stirs up old rivalries, romances, and unforgettable memories — all building toward one very special performance.

As always, there will be a selection of free snacks and drinks for you to enjoy.

The Coffee Pot Reopens!

We can’t wait to welcome you back to the Coffee Pot tomorrow. Join us anytime from 10am to 1pm for a variety of drinks, fresh pancakes, delicious treats and a warm welcome for all!

Sunday Worship Cancelled – 11th January 2026

Our Kirk Session has decided to cancel this weekend’s Worship Service. (Sunday 11th January).
 
This decision has been made in light of the latest weather forecast. The Met Office issued another yellow weather warning this morning for snow and ice in Aberdeen from 2am on Sunday, in addition to the warnings already in place for today and tomorrow. Snow is likely, with strong winds causing drifting, and icy conditions presenting a widespread risk.
 
Many pavements and roads have not yet been treated, so travel is expected to be difficult and potentially unsafe.
 
For everyone’s safety, we encourage people to stay at home.

Community in Focus

Community in Focus is a five-week small group helping us reflect on what makes a good community — and what role the church is called to play within it. Together we’ll discuss, pray, and hear from local organisations as we uncover the gifts already present around us.  It’s an opportunity to see our neighbourhood through God’s eyes, discerning how we might join in with the good already happening.

Days and times TBC. If you’re interested in being part of the group, email our Church and Community Worker Jay at jthomas@churchofscotland.org.uk

 

Sunday Worship Cancelled – 4 January 2026

Our Kirk Session has decided to cancel tomorrow's Worship and Communion Service.

This decision has been made in light of the weather forecast and the yellow warning for heavy snow, strong winds and sub-zero temperatures through to Monday midday. With many pavements and roads still untreated, travel is expected to be difficult and unsafe. We know a number of people were already planning to stay safe and warm at home — and we encourage everyone to do the same.

Please share this post so others are aware. Stay safe.
