Hello, and welcome to the Dalbeattie & Kirkgunzeon website. 
The Spring flowers are beginning to show all around now and it lifts our spirits to see how they have managed to survive winter. With all the blustery storms we have had this winter, we are glad of a sign of new life around. 
 Perhaps new life signalling a new start, a different start.  At Dalbeattie & Kirkgunzeon Parish Church, we are always glad to welcome new people into our midst.  Our sanctuary is a welcoming place, on any Sunday morning at 11.00am, we ring the bell and invite people to come and join us in our worship.
 Led in praise by our musical director, Rory Robson, we sing and lift our voices in praise with hymns both old and modern, something for everyone.
 Christmas saw us celebrating with different services, but the most popular was our Candle-light Carol Service, what a wonderful atmosphere there was at it and truly celebrated Christmas.
 Heading into Lent and then onto Easter, there are different services taking place also, and some with our Churches Together group too.
 If you have been thinking "It might be nice to go/return to Church" then please feel welcome to join us any Sunday. A warm welcome awaits you.
God's House is open to all.  I as the Minister, am always happy to see new faces in the congregation.
 So, if you have been looking for a place to worship, or even a place to meet the Lord, don't hesitate to come in and share fellowship with us.
 
Fiona Wilson, Minister. 

 

Rev Fiona Wilson and Richard Wilson
