FFP Community News Post 18^th June 2026

Eileen’s message to us last Sunday was about hospitality, both offering it, and looking for it.  In Abraham’s terms in Genesis 18, it meant offering water, rest and a meal in compassion to strangers. Eileen’s question to us was  –  what does compassion look like in today’s world? Offering help – and comfort – being with people – all types of people. In Matthew 9, Jesus sends the twelve out to do just that, and we are sent out likewise. If you missed being at the church service, you can access the recording on our website langtouncentralchurch.org.uk. 

Eileen will be leading our worship including the Sacrament of Communion next Sunday at 11 a.m. in the Bennochy building where there will be Young Church activity bags available for all age groups. Please note that those wishing to sing with the choir should meet with Richard Michael at 10 a.m. 

Our buildings are both very busy all week with the groups which are still meeting, plus occasional events and concerts. Enquiries about booking rooms or halls should be directed to the Langtoun Church office in the St Bryce Centre on 640016  or  office@langtouncentralchurch.org.uk    The St Bryce Centre coffee bar will be 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 (22 June) the Bible Study group will meet at 10 a.m. in the St Bryce Centre to continue their study of Mark’s gospel, while the Craft Group will meet at the same time in the Bennochy building continuing preparations for their Strawberry Tea event on Saturday 27 June from 10 a.m. – 12 noon. The Community Choir will  meet at 6.30 p.m. preparing for their family Summer concert on Monday 29^th June at 6.30 p.m. in the Bennochy sanctuary so put both these dates in your diary! 

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.  And our Girls Allowed group will be out for a meal on Friday 26^th to mark the end of their programme for the year.

Another entry for your diary is the Evening Service which will take place on Sunday 28 June at 7 p.m.in the St Bryce sanctuary. The music will be provided by members of the Dysart Colliery Silver Band, and the preacher will be the Very Rev Dr Russell Barr, a former Moderator of the Church of Scotland.
