Lochgilphead Parish Church
Welcome to our Website
As minister of Lochgilphead Parish Church I welcome you to our website. It provides you with all sorts of news including news of forthcoming events which we would love you to attend (See Whats On ).
This session will see the start of new groups within our Church which are for the community as well as our congregation.
A discussion group will be starting at which we will explore questions of faith and other related topics as chosen by the group. As minister I am expecting to be challenged!!
Our Youth Fellowship will have a new format and some new members, maybe even some music this year which we may be able to share with the congregation in worship.
A 'Knit and Natter' Group is also starting to provide company for those who need it and perhaps even some much needed knitting for a premature baby unit and/or our troops overseas. We may not all be able to knit but we can all 'knatter' so if you just wish some company, come along and join us. The men could always come and make the tea!!
The Bible Study and the Guild will continue as before with varied programmes and interesting topics for discussion and both will have some new members this year.
For the last few years we have undertaken some serious fundraising to fulfil our 20/10 Vision. Next year will be 2012 but we have reached our target for Phase 1 of our building programme thanks to a lot of hard work on the part of our members and because of the fantastic support we have received from our community, not to mention a grant of £148,000 from Argyll and Islands Leader. Work on our hall and our new link corridor should begin in January. It is an exciting time for our congregation and community but not the end of fundraising!! However, the future is looking bright.
Lochgilphead Parish Church is part of the Church of Scotland and I, Rev. Hilda Smith, am Parish Minister. If you live in Lochgilphead or are visiting the area please join us on a Sunday morning at 11 a.m. as we worship God and thank Him for calling us to be part of His family through His Son, Jesus Christ. Bring your children along. We have a table at the front of the Church where the children sit and do a variety of crafts and other activities. We would love to see you and all ages will be made welcome.
If you wish to contact me on any matter, pastoral or otherwise, please do not hesitate " Contacts".
