Kemback Hall Update

Hi everyone,

I hope you are all enjoying this spell of sunny weather.

Winter activities in the hall are now finished but the popular dancing classes and the whist drives will hopefully resume in the autumn.

New for the summer - Kemback Pub Club

UPDATE: POSTPONED

Just to let you know that sadly we have had to postpone Tuesday's proposed opening of the Waterfall Inn, while we sort out a few details.

We will hopefully get these resolved and be able to get it up and running very soon.

Several people have commented to say they thought it was a great idea, so look out for more updates as soon as we get things sorted out.

Thank You from Christian Aid - Christian Aid Week 2026

The people at Christian Aid have expressed their thanks to everyone who has been fundraising and donating to the Charity during Christian Aid Week (10th May - 16th May). These donations will be put towards supporting the impoverished communities in Kenya, so the women can grow food, earn an income and take care of their children. These skills and resources will be valuable for these people to sustain a healthy future.

A thank you video has been produced, with words of grace from the determined women highlighted this Christian Aid Week, Belinda and Fridah, is available to watch here.

Donations are welcome all year round, and we at CKS hope to fundraise for the charity at a later date. For now, you can directly donate to Christian Aid here.

Service of Linkage with East Fife Rural

On Sunday 1st March, we celebrated a very important service of Linkage between Ceres Kemback and Springfield with East Fife Rural. We had Rev Eileen Miller with us to preach on the gospel about the first Disciples leaving the comfort of their boat to follow Jesus.

Presbytery Clerk Rev Alec Shuttleworth and Presbytery Moderator Rev Brian Porteous were there to formally unite the parishes of East Fife Rural (Kingsbarns, Carnbee, Kilrenny and Largoward) and formally link us with them, alongside many other members of Fife Presbytery.

Additionally, we saw the formal induction of Rev Jane Barron as Minister of this new charge, with the support of Rev Michael Allardyce and Rev Ian Wotherspoon.

It was a very busy service, we had run out of seats for everyone to sit on! We are incredibly grateful and proud of having the congregations of East Fife Rural and our own churches gather together for a momentous occasion in our journey of faith. Thank you to everyone who came along.

Thank you to all who came to Wake Up!

On November 30th 2025, we held a wonderful concert in Ceres Church to raise funds for ICCTPR, a charity aiming to provide training to support children suffering from trauma, especially in the Middle East and Palestine. Ian Barron, who established the charity back in 2009, appeared in a pre-recorded video to talk about his work and how it helps the struggling children of Palestine. We went on a journey of introspection through the music played by renowned cellist Joanna Stark, experienced the joys of Christmas with a sing-along with the Connections Community Choir, felt the joy of bringing good news with a performance by Cupalele, and even had a surprise visit from Roxie the pony!

We are incredibly glad to confirm that we have raised over £3,000 for ICCTPR to provide training to support the children of Palestine through the disassociation they experience as a consequence of the genocide in their land. If you would still like to contribute, they are open to donations digitally. Details are below:

Account Name: Ceres Kemback & Springfield Church
Sort Code: 87-68-60

Please include the reference "Charity" when making these donations. Thank you!

Ian Barron has also come forward with information on what this money will be going towards - you will find this information in the poster below:
