Updated 13th February 2022
Note: Service Schedule revised for March, April - June added.
Christ Church is holding weekly Sunday services as per our usual schedule.
Owing to the death of Rev. Canon Ken Gordon in June 2021 communion services for the time-being will be held with Reserved Sacrament. The services are modified to accommodate the current Covid-19 pandemic.
You can now visit Christ Church for private prayer but please DO NOT come to the church if:
- you or anyone in your household have Covid19 symptoms
- you are shielding
- you need to bring children and cannot keep them under complete control with no touching of anything
- you are more than one household group
- there is someone else in the church already - please wait your turn
Otherwise please come to Christ Church for Private Prayer - entry via the Vestry Door using the key number circulated to members in the newsletter of 28th June 2020.
Please bear with us during this extraordinary time. We are praying for the entire community and if you want prayers said for anyone in particular please advise.
Depending on regulations applying at the time we're holding services indoors or outdoors.
110+ people attended our Carol Service on 22nd December 2019
91 people attended on Christmas Day 2019
61 attended our All-Ages Service in March 2020
After that Covid struck.
Christ Church, Kincardine O’Neil is a small Scottish Episcopal Church in the middle of Royal Deeside. It is a Scottish Charity, Number SC001675.
While many claim that small rural churches cannot survive without ripping out the pews, and installing screens and a drum kit, under David's Greenwood's leadership and somewhat against the trend Christ Church thrived with continuous growth in the number of annual communicants - rising by 70% over four years. Sadly we have to report that Rev. Dr. David Greenwood has left us to return with his family to the USA.
Christ Church has a strong plan in place for the current vacancy with ordained clergy kindly helping our experienced lay ministry team. It is good to say that congregations have held up well in the six months since David left us.
While we are strong on traditional worship we have recently incorporated more-modern language to make the services more accessible. We use the English Standard Version Bible (Anglicised).
Christ Church is an enormously friendly and welcoming church which strives to serve its role in the community as the only operational church building in a wonderful village. All are very welcome.
So, when you're allowed to, why don't YOU come along and be part of what's happening here?
We have now obtained planning permission to build a church hall. If you want to read more about the project click HERE. Thank you very much.
