Hello and a warm welcome to our Church Website.  
 
As we travel on our Advent Journey here in Dalbeattie & Kirkgunzeon Parish Church, we are walking with Mary and Joseph to Bethlehem for Christ's birth. It is a lovely time of the year for Christians all over the world and we look forward with great anticipation. We are so familiar with this story and yet, there are still some who do not know of Christ's Birth.

As a congregation we are doing our very best to reach out to those who need his love shared with them and they can come to know Christ and His love for themselves.

On our Advent Journey we are trying support those in need by way of our Advent food Bank Donations.

We are also celebrating with our Candle Light Carol Service on Tuesday 16th December at 6.30pm, all will be welcome.

In this special season we are reminded of the great love of God who gave us His Son as a baby, who grew into a man that taught us all and gave us the Christian way of life.

Please feel welcome if you come to visit us.
 
May you all have a very Blessed Christmas.
 
Fiona Wilson, Minister
