A very warm welcome to Newhaven Church

On By AdminIn News and events1 Comment

Newhaven Church is a congregation of the Church of Scotland based in Newhaven, Edinburgh.  We are a caring group of Christians committed to serving Christ, each other and the community.

We’re an active church, not restricted by the walls of our building, and hold a number of events both within the church, around the parish area, and further afield. We hold church services every Sunday at 10.30am, and have Communion Services on the last Sunday of each month. We hold family friendly All Age Services on the first Sunday of each month. You will find a warm greeting at any of these services, where we would be delighted to have you visit us.

If you’d like to get in touch by phone or e-mail please follow the link to our find us and contacts page.

Church Walk- 3rd September 2017

On By Lesley-Anne WeirIn Dates for your Diary, News and eventsLeave a comment

Please join us for a walk along part of the Fife Costal path on Sunday 3 September. The idea would be to meet up at Aberdour early mid afternoon and arrange to travel to Burntisland by train/bus and walk back. Members of the Newhaven Running Club may prefer to run the round trip! If weather permits there could be an alternative beach option. Please bring your own picnic. The local church has an evening service at 6.30pm or we could have our own on the beach. It is weather dependent but please note it in your diary. Detailed instructions will be available shortly.

On By Lesley-Anne WeirIn Dates for your Diary, News and eventsLeave a comment

There is an opportunity to hear about the work of Scripture Union in parts of the former Soviet Union next Saturday. Michael Rowe who for a long time has worked co-ordinating the support and Nikolai Podrez a local worker will be with us for the Saturday Prayer meeting on Saturday 26 August. The intention is that they will outline briefly any particular prayer needs before we turn to prayer. Then they will stay on and anyone who wants may join us for informal chat over a light breakfast.

At 10am there will be coffee and some eats and they will go into more detail on the work. We are keen for folk to join us in prayer at 8am but if that does not work for you please come for 10am to meet with them then when there will be time to hear more.

As Newhaven Church prepares to bid farewell to the Ferry family and wish them well in their new life in the United States, we’re reminded of, and feel grateful for, their contribution to our body over the last few years.

This morning one of our elders, Colin MacNeill, invited the congregation to consider whether one of them would like to take over from Dermot as editor of the Prayer Calendar.

If you feel you might like to take on this role, please speak to Dermot, or to our Session Clerk, John Hodge, or e-mail John at newhavensessionclerk@btinternet.com

A Transcontinental Reunion!

Newhaven Church café yesterday provided the backdrop to a reunion between Mr and Mrs Roy Cummings and their friends and family. Born and bred in Newhaven, the couple have spent over fifty years living in Canada. This summer they have brought their young granddaughter over to Scotland to meet her Scottish relatives. They were joined by family and friends for afternoon tea in the church which they attended in their youth.
