Sunday 18th April – Sixtieth Birthday
The first service in the St Columba’s Church building was on 14th April 1961.
We would love to have a great big party to celebrate the 60th anniversary, but that is just not possible because of the COVID restrictions. There will be a special service on Sunday April 18th, when Martin Fair, the Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland will be preaching.
We will be allowed up to 50 people in the church and we will also have a video feed through to the church hall in case we have more than 50 people.
Please come to the main door as usual and we will redirect people if required. Face coverings will be required and we will be operating under the current restrictions with a one way system, 2m distancing and no singing.
There will also be an opportunity for up to 300 people to join using Zoom –

The service will also be streamed to YouTube –
To mark the 60th anniversary , we have collected some pictures from the last 60 years. https://www.st-columbas.com/picture-challenge/ Our challenge to you is to share any memories or stories triggered by these pictures – we know there are lots of people with connections to the church. Printed copies have now been distributed. If you know of anyone else who would like one, please e-mail info@st-columbas.com. We will then collect the stories and produce another booklet later in the year.
Following the recent confirmation from the Scottish Government and approval from Fife Presbytery, we are back conducting Sunday services (with restrictions) in St Columba’s. There will still be a limit of 50 people allowed in the church and there are strict rules about 2m distancing, not singing and wearing face coverings at all times.
The service will last about 30-40 minutes. Access to the toilets will be available, if required. Please come in to the main church door and follow instructions from the welcome team. The service will also be streamed live to Zoom and YouTube. If you are able to use Zoom, it would be very helpful if you could join on Zoom this week, until we get an idea of numbers. We are not asking people to book, but some elders have offered that they will go home if we get more than 50.
If anyone has any questions, please contact Alan on (01592) 742233 or e-mail info@st-columbas.com. Whether you are able to join on Sunday or not, our prayers are still with everyone at what continues to be a very difficult time.
