Following the tragic fire at the zoo, West Kirk Pastoral Care Group have cancelled the trip previously organised for Wednesday 8th May.
A future visit will be arranged once there is further information on the situation at the zoo.
Some interesting reading about Shakespeare's possible connection to the King James Version of the Bible (Psalm 46) here as part of the Word of the Week series written by David Swinney.
The date for our next Sunday lunch is 12 May. For anyone who has not joined us in the past, the lunch is held immediately after morning worship and is supplied by The JAM Club. Roll and bacon is £2 and roll and sausage £1.50. This is inclusive of unlimited tea and coffee. There is no need to pre-order so please come along and support this. Everyone who has been before will agree that this is a wonderful opportunity to relax and chat. If you don't have time to stay, we can make you rolls to go!

We meet in the church on Sunday mornings at 9.45am during school term time. Most children sit in the front of the church on arrival. We join the congregation for the first part of the service then head out to the hall after the children’s address and hymn. There we have great fun exploring bible stories, crafts, games, music & musical instruments, dvd’s and much more.
