Wider Church

Cupar Cluster

We are part of the Cupar Cluster of Churches in the north east of the Presbytery of Fife which also includes Cupar Old Parish Church linked with Monimail, and Cupar St John & Dairsie United Parish Church.
The formal grouping enables the parishes to work more closely together, sharing, connecting with a wider community and drawing strength and support from each other. Further information here

A Message from from Rev David Cameron, Convener of the Assembly Trustees on the Israel Gaza Conflict

Dear Friends, as many will know, the Church of Scotland has had a presence in Israel and Palestine for many years.  Currently we have two Mission Partners in place – Rev Dr Stewart Gillan in Jerusalem, and Rev Muriel Pearson in Tiberias.  Alongside that, we have around 160 locally employed staff at our three properties in Tiberias, Jerusalem, and Jaffa-Tel Aviv... CONTINUE READING HERE

National Moderator/May 2024

No sooner is the new Moderator or our General Assembly installed (this year Rt Rev Sally Foster-Fulton) then we are asked to consider next year's spiritual leader, to be inducted in late May 2024.  It's perhaps interesting to know that whoever becomes Moderator Designate has a lead in time of six months which explains the urgency.

Anyone who is a member of the Church of Scotland can suggest names and I encourage you to think about people we've heard about in church, and whom you have read about online, in Life and Work, or in another place. I remember Very Rev Dr Martin Fair saying how important it is that people in the pew can all have a say in this and that it is not a closed shop.

Please read the below link and you’ll find details about who is eligible and of course elders and readers are very much to be considered - goodness knows we have a plethora of hard working, experienced Kirk elders.
