St Columba’s Church will be open for a while this evening (Thursday) for anyone who would like to come and sit in the sanctuary.
We will be holding our Sunday service at 11am on Sunday (including Zoom and YouTube – see below). This will include prayers reflecting the death of the Queen.
There will be a service in St Giles Cathedral, which we expect to be on Monday. We will provide information here and on our Facebook page.
The Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland has also issued a statement –
We would like to warmly welcome everyone to our Church Services here at St Columba’s Church every Sunday at 11am. We will also be providing refreshments in the form of Tea, Coffee and biscuits which will be served after the service in our Large Hall.

COVID-19 Information
The Church is not a building, the Church is not a steeple.
The Church is not a resting-place, the Church is a people!
I am the Church! You are the Church!
We are the Church together!
All who follow Jesus, all around the world,
yes, we’re the Church together.

St Columba’s building is reopening slowly as is permitted by the COVID regulations. Please e-mail info@st-columbas.com if you wish to use the halls or you would like an update on groups which have restarted.
St Columba’s Church is still very active. There will be regular updates through the Facebook page, website and Sunday services through our Zoom and YouTube platforms.
St Columba’s Parish Church is situated beside St Columba’s roundabout, near the Kingdom Shopping Centre in Glenrothes. We seek to share God’s love with the people of the parish and beyond.
Our main worship service starts at 11am and all are invited to stay for Tea and Coffee after the service at about 12 noon. We start the service together and, except when we have family services, children leave for the crèche or Junior Church after about 20 minutes.
We welcome visitors to our services. Please don’t worry about what to do when, what to wear or feeling you have to be on your best behaviour! We are just delighted to welcome you.
Messy Church is held on the second Sunday of each month between 4pm and 6pm. This is for anyone, but especially families. It includes crafts, games, singing, stories and we end by sharing a hot meal together.
We hold special services, especially around Christmas and Easter. We also sometimes share worship with the other churches in Glenrothes and Leslie.
