Hello, and welcome to the Dalbeattie & Kirkgunzeon website. 
We have reached the end of our Liturgical Year and now we are in the great season of Advent, A time of Hope, Peace and Love and most of all the celebration of the birth of Christ.
Our Church is looking very festive and bright, our members work very hard to decorate our Church and bring the Spirit of Christmas to all.
As Minister, I am hoping to lead the congregation on a journey of Hope throughout Advent.
 As we travel through the season, we have various services where all will be welcome.
 
Our Candle Light carol Service is always a special night, this year it is on Wednesday 18th December at 6.30pm. A lovely Family night all together and singing favourite Carols. On Monday 9th and Tuesday 10th December  from 3.30pm we will have an opportunity for the children to come to the church centre and make lanterns to use at the Carol Service. This was thoroughly enjoyed by all who took part last year both adults and children, and also a quiz in the Church.
Why not come along and join us.
There will be a Christingle Service on Christmas Eve at 6.30pm, and a service on Christmas Day at 10.00am.
Our Watchnight Service is in our sister church, Urr Parish Church, at 11.30pm.
Our usual Service is at 11.00am every Sunday, please come and join us, you will receive a very warm welcome.
Blessings to all,
Fiona Wilson, Minister.

 

Rev Fiona Wilson and Richard Wilson
