Flower Group

 
The Flower Group works regularly behind the scenes to provide flower arrangements that adorn the church and enhance our worship. The team is always looking for new members. You do not have to have any formal training, just a love of flowers and arranging them. 

​We have meetings three or four times a year in each other's houses. Easter, Harvest and Christmas are great fun when we all get together with good coffee and homemade cakes. We particularly enjoy being asked to provide arrangements for weddings.

Please do come and join a very happy team. 

Choir

 
Please see our Music page for all the information about the SATB choir and the Children's Choir. ​

Book Group

 
The Book Group usually meet on the first Tuesday of the month in the Church Centre at 7.30pm.  

If you join the book group you will find that the books are usually available from the Edinburgh Libraries Book Collection and you can pick up your copy from the church office or at the book group meeting. Copies should also be available at the library.

Mothers' Union

 
Being part of a world-wide movement we are always interested in talks about other countries and this year we heard about fair trade in Nepal, had a floral tour of Australia, and looked at the impact of the Wall on the people of Palestine. Our prayer diary keeps us informed about Mothers' Union activities and we contribute in various ways to the UK and Overseas Support Committee, through which the church supports many charities in different countries. 

Meetings are not just for listening and there was a spirited debate during our meeting on Role Models versus Celebrities, when we looked at modern magazines with surprising results.

Visitors and new members are always very welcome to come to any of the meetings. 

Prayer Shawl Ministry

Over the last few weeks, members of the Prayer Shawl Group have been busy knitting at home. We have kept in touch with each other through emails, phone calls and even a virtual knitting group meeting on Zoom! 
 
We have been able to take or post shawls to people in particular need at this time and have also received feedback from many recipients that their shawl has brought them comfort, a feeling of connection, peace and support. 
 
We now have a lovely selection of completed shawls which will be blessed and are available to be distributed. If you know of anyone - friends, neighbours or family members - who you feel might be in need of a word or sign of support, please let us know and we can arrange to have one posted, delivered directly or to you if you would like to deliver it yourself. Please get in touch with Jane or Alison directly or via the office.
 
Thank you to our knitters and to the whole congregation for your continued support of this ministry.

Quilting Group

 
This group continues to thrive and we welcome new members. Over the past year, several babies have been the recipients of beautiful quilts and each member of the group has a lovely patchwork pin cushion now. We have embarked on a group project and are working together on one large quilt. Friendships have been developed and birthdays are celebrated with coffee, croissants and one of Pirjo's miniature patchwork cards. 

Film Group

 
The film group started in November 2015, and continues to be popular with around 25-35 people gathering in the church centre to watch the film and discuss it. These have ranged from Eddie the Eagle, to I, Daniel Blake and Queen of Katwe through to Of Gods and Men. Most recently, the Film Group watched Brooklyn.

Walkers Group

 
The walkers group is always pleased to welcome new members. We have walks for beginners through to the committed hill trekker. 

Walks are on every third Saturday of each month, usually leaving around 9.15am.  Walks vary in difficulty depending on the season and the weather on the day.  Petrol costs (if any) are shared.
​(Please note that there may be last minute changes due to weather and other factors.)
