THE WORSHIPPING CHURCH 

Ever since the Church began, Christians have joined together to worship God. In the Church of Scotland, services of worship include hymns and songs, prayers, reading passages from the Bible and preaching, and celebrating the Sacraments. There are all kinds of variations possible, but these elements are basic. 

In King’s Park, we have two Sunday Services of Worship – in the morning , at 11am, and in the evening, at 6.30pm.  

The Sacrament of Baptism is celebrated usually at the morning service on the first Sunday of the month. The Sacrament of Holy Communion is celebrated  on the second Sundays of March, June, October and December, at 11am, 3pm and 6.30pm.

The Sacrament is open to anyone who is a member of any branch of the Christian Church. Communion is also celebrated once a month at the evening service on the other months of the year. 

Marriage Services are regularly held in the Church. To arrange about Baptisms, Weddings and to consult the Minister on any other matter, please call at the Vestry Hour, on Wednesdays, between 6.00 and 7.00pm 

There are special services at other times – in Holy Week, each night between Palm Sunday and Easter Day; and on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. 

Our two Primary Schools, where the Minister is Chaplain, hold services in the Church at Christmas, Easter and Summer. Parents and Friends are always very welcome to these services. 

Each Wednesday night, a Prayer Group meets in the Church, from 7.00pm till 7.30 pm. Anyone can come to that, even if only on one occasion. Prayers are offered for the sick, and for people in different situations of distress.  

The Church is also accessible for private prayer. Call at the Church Office first. 

Central both to worship and to the Christian life is the Bible. In the Church of Scotland, we hold that the Word of God, contained in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments, is the supreme rule of faith and life. Modern translations of the Bible, along with a host of other Christian literature, can be found at Wesley Owen Bookshops, Bothwell Street, in Glasgow’s city centre.
