FFP Community News Post 3^rd September 2026

Last Sunday, Eileen welcomed our own Mary Bain-Lockhart to join her in leading worship. Mary is about to move on to her next placement (at Wellesley Church) as she proceeds with her studies towards an Ordained Local Minister. Mary’s sermon was based on readings from Jeremiah and Matthew, with her message being that God’s love is indestructible like running water. We must continually love one another as Jesus taught so that the church, also like running water, will always be needed. If you missed being at the service, you can access the recording on our website langtouncentralchurch.org.uk.

In the evening, the third of our summer celebration services took place in the St Bryce sanctuary, when Rev Derek Lawson told us of his experiences working in the International Presbytery of the Church of Scotland in several different places in the world – so very interesting and often so very different from what happens here!

Eileen will be back to lead our worship next Sunday, firstly at a Messy Breakfast from 9 till 10.15 a.m. in the St Bryce large hall – open to all families to come and join in not just the food, but also the music, fun and crafts.  And then in the Bennochy building at 11 a.m. Anyone wanting to sing with the choir should meet there with Richard Michael at 10 a.m.

Enquiries about booking rooms or halls in future weeks can be directed to the Langtoun Church office in the St Bryce Centre, by phone on 640016, or by email to   office@langtouncentralchurch.org.uk    The St Bryce Centre coffee bar is open Monday to Thursday for teas/coffees, cakes and rolls 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and lunches 11.45 a.m. to 1.45p.m. Gluten-free and vegan options are always available.

On Monday (7^th Sept) the Bible Study group will meet at 10 a.m. in the St Bryce building to begin discussing its new topic, while the Craft Group will meet at the same time in the Bennochy building. The Community Choir will meet at 6.30 p.m., also on Monday in the Bennochy building.

On Tuesday, the Guild will have its first meeting of the session at 1.30 p.m. in the St Bryce Small Hall when our minister, Eileen, will speak on this year’s theme ‘Beyond the Walls’. Meanwhile at 2.30 p.m. in the Bennochy building, the Handbell Ringers will resume their meetings.

The Olive Branch cafe will be open in Bennochy on Thursday as usual from 11 a.m. till 12 for snacks, and lunches until 1.30 p.m. Now that the schools are back, our uniformed youth groups have resumed their usual meeting times and places.  And on Friday next week, the Kirkcaldy Trefoil Guild which is Guiding for Adults will have its first meeting of the new session at 6.45 p.m. in the St Bryce Centre.

Advance notice that our Sole to Soul Walking Group will have its next outing after the service on Sunday 13^th – Dianne will have information.
