Womens Fellowship

January 7^th we had a most interesting and informative talk about the “Hospital Radio” from Barclay McIntosh. At present the volunteers are based in rooms at Lynbank but will shortly be moving to a room in Queen Margaret Hospital where it will be more convenient for them to operate.
They have a great range of music to suit all tastes and this is a very comforting and enjoyable service received by the patients. Volunteers are always required for this worthwhile service.

February 10^th Mr George Beattie was our guest today and he showed us part of his collection of slides of “Old Dunfermline” dating back to the 1920s and 1930s. It was most interesting to see how Dunfermline looked in those days and a far cry from what we are used to today. Where once there were green fields, we have now become accustomed to new roads and houses. Transport to Saline, Culross & Limekilns was by horse drawn carriages before tramcars came into operation and there was very little protection from the elements.
A great afternoon of nostalgia!!

See the events page page for details of the next meetings.

Any young visitors to the church are welcome to remain in the sanctuary but if they wish they can join the Kids of Faith in their activities starting after the first part of the service. There is a childrens' area in the sanctuary for younger children but should a parent or guardian wish it, the carers on duty will take these children to the Kids of Faith as well.

If you would like come to Church but find transport a problem we have a pool of drivers who can offer transport. If you receive a newsletter the names and telephone numbers of the drivers are provided. If you are visiting us for the first time please send an email by clicking the Contact us button. In either case please give as much notice as possible.

The Church AGM was held after the service on 15th. February, chaired by the Minister. She said in her report said that the priorities for the next few years are to become central to Coaltown village life, to develop the school chaplaincy and to grow spiritually as a congregation.

Looking forward to 2009 (and using the headings of the 5 marks of mission), this means

Worship: continuing to try out new ways of worship, both for ourselves and for the community
Christian Education: using the Vision4Life programme to encourage learning and thinking in the church. Developing the school chaplaincy and building on that relationship.
Pastoral Care: continuing to make the church a caring community
Outreach: nurturing relationships in the village and playing our part in the Synod, in the partnership with Dunfermline URC and in Glenrothes Churches Together.
