Peterculter Parish Church

OUR services are now taking place at the earlier time of 10.30am. This allows more time for coffee and fellowship after the service, as well as extra activities such as Prayer Time, Discussion Time or the celebration of communion after the main service.

You are warmly invited to attend our Easter services, which begin on March 20th with a Family Service on Palm Sunday, which hopefully will include an appearance from a donkey once again and a parade along North Deeside Road.

The joint Holy Week services between ourselves, St Devenick's and what should by then be Cults Parish Church (with the two churches uniting on March 10th) takes place in Peterculter Parish Church from March 21st - 25th at 7pm every evening.

On Easter Day, we will have a short outdoor service on the field beside the Heritage Centre at 9.30am, followed by egg rolling and breakfast in the Heritage Hall. All are welcome to come to worship, on what is the most important day of the Christian year, at our main service at 10.30am when we celebrate the resurrection of Christ.

We have started serving mid week lunches from time to time and this is open to everyone in the community. The cost is £2.50 for a two-course lunch. If you would like information about dates etc. for this, please phone Moira Marshall on 732350 or the church office on 735845.

After the success of our last Christian rock concert, we will be holding another one on March 5th at 7.30pm. The group is called 'Superhero' and they have a web site at www.superhero.org.uk which gives details of their music etc. A very different kind of evening will take place on Tuesday April 19th at 7.30pm when the Salvation Army will be holding a concert in the church. This is being organised by The Guild and is open to all.

We continue to hold coffee mornings twice a week and I'm sure that many more people would appreciate tea/ coffee and brilliant home baking at reasonable prices. Come along any Thursday and Saturday mornings from 10am-12noon.
