You are warmly invited to join us at Cumbernauld Old for worship on Sunday 26th June. The service will be held in the Parish Church at 11.00am and will be led by David Nicholson DCS, a retired Deacon in the Church of Scotland.  Everyone welcome!

Christian Aid Week 2022

We are delighted to let you know that the total donated by the congregation of Cumbernauld Old and their friends and family during Christian Aid Week in May was £560.
Many thanks to everyone for their continuing generosity at this difficult time. This total does not include money donated directly to Christian Aid, eg via their website,

Book Club

We are hoping to start a book group – the intention is to get people reading and talking about books they enjoy with others, and perhaps reading something they would never have tried. The plan at the moment is that the group will meet monthly and the next book of the month will be chosen by members each month. Drop us a line if you are interested. There is also a sign-up sheet in the church vestibule.

SU Camp Prayer Letter

Our Interim Moderator, Julie, is part of a team going with a group to SU Camp next week and has shared a prayer letter (attached) that God will bless the week and all those attending. Please take time to remember all those attending in your prayers today and as the week unfolds. Thank-you!

Worship on Sunday 19th June

Our worship service at Cumbernauld Old on Sunday 19th June will be in the Parish Church at 11.00am and will be led this week by Ivar Struthers, one of our elders and a Reader with the Church of Scotland. All welcome!

The service will also be live-streamed on our Facebook page at 11am on Sunday if you can’t be with us in person.

Post-worship teas and coffees

Now that restrictions have been relaxed once again, the Kirk Session has agreed that we should reintroduce serving tea and coffee in the Session House after the service. So many people have missed the opportunity for a cuppa and catch up, so it will be good to see normal service resumed. If you are willing to be part of a tea rota in order than we can get this up-and-running, please speak to Elizabeth Snedden any Sunday. Hopefully your turn would only come around every five or six weeks – the more volunteers the better!

Singing Group

We are delighted with the level of interest being shown in our proposed Singing Group. There is no better way of cheering yourself up and lifting your spirits than joining with others to sing. You don’t need to have any musical experience, have a strong voice, be able to read music. It’s just the chance to meet together and have fun singing a variety of popular songs. A lot of details have still to be sorted out, but in the meantime if you are interested please add your name to the poster in the church vestibule or drop us a line here or on our Facebook page.

Worship on Sunday 12th June

You are warmly invited to worship with us at Cumbernauld Old on Sunday 12th June. Our worship service in the Parish Church starts at 11.00am and will be led this week by Ivar Struthers, one of our elders and a Reader with the Church of Scotland.

The service will also be live-streamed on our Facebook page at 11am on Sunday if you can’t be with us in person.

Thanks to everyone who contributed in any way to our get together last Sunday afternoon. To those who helped set up the garden, those who served and tidied away, the craft group for knitting the bunting, Rae for her delicious baking and Alan Scobie (butcher) for donating the sausage rolls. We think everyone enjoyed the opportunity for a catch up and the food went down well too!!

Post-worship teas and coffees

Worship on Sunday 5th June

Smart Savers fund-raiser

Our Fund-raising Group has relaunched the ‘Smart-Savers’ project to raise money for church funds. You are asked to take a tube of Smarties from the vestibule, enjoy the sweeties then fill the tube with 20p coins and return it to any of the office-bearers. Members have continued to hand them in throughout lockdown raising hundreds of pounds for the church, so it would be great to see that continue.

Singing Group

Lynn Strang, one of our organists, has said she would be interested in starting a singing group. It would be purely for fun and enjoyment, and we would sing a variety of popular music. If you want to find out more or are interested in taking part please speak to Elizabeth Snedden any Sunday.
