Zoom Services

We hold Sunday evening Zoom services. The services are participatory, with suggestions and contributions from everyone. We have had folk attending when on holiday, in hospital or when housebound and either by tablet, computer or phone- even landline. Around a quarter of the folk now attending are not members of Torphichen; some even join from Africa and across the Atlantic!

The services are at 7.00pm and you can join in by tablet, computer or phone from 6.50pm.

More Important News about the vacancy for the second Full Time Minister of Word and Sacrament

19 October at 11 am there will be a joint service in St Ninian’s Craigmailen Church, Linlithgow for the whole Parish. 

After the worship, the Interim Moderator will be conducting the procedure for the election of the Nominating Committee  responsible for identifying a suitable candidate to be the second full-time Minister of Word and Sacrament within the parish.  The Nominating Committee will have a maximum of 13 members and it would be ideal if there was representation from across on the parish.  Please give some thought as to any individuals who you feel would be interested in becoming a member of the Nominating Committee.

Offerings

We are grateful for the financial support provided through regular giving such as standing orders, and direct bank payments.

If you are able, you may wish to consider either setting up a standing order or pay by bank transfer your offerings.
If that is not suitable for you, a locked offering box will be placed near the door within the Sanctuary for offerings to be given on arrival. The box will be emptied regularly, and the money deposited in the bank account and we will be able to claim gift aid on them using the small gift aid donation scheme.

If you wish to set up a standing order or other direct bank donations please contact for further information James White (Deputy Session Clerk for Linlithgow and Avon Valley Parish Church of Scotland) on 07922 124724.

With every blessing for your ongoing support of the work of the Kirk.
