Worship for Easter Day

Tomorrow, Sunday 9th April, is Easter Day and our worship service at Cumbernauld Old will take place in the Parish Church at 11.00am. It will be led by Rev Fiona Crawford and everyone is welcome.
There will be an informal celebration of Holy Communion after our Easter Day morning worship service.

Sunday’s service will also be live-streamed on our Facebook page for those who are unable to be with us in person.

We’d like to remind everyone of the Cumbernauld and Moodiesburn Cluster Easter Celebration taking place later at 6:30pm in Moodiesburn Parish Church – 20 Blackwoods Cres, Moodiesburn, Glasgow G69 0EN – where food will also be provided. It would be great if there was a strong representation from every congregation as we join together to worship on this special day.

The Prayer Course

The next session in our series of discussions on prayer will be on Tuesday 11th April from 1.00pm until 2.00pm in the church sanctuary. All welcome!
This is part of an eight-week look at The Prayer Course, developed by Pete Greig, founder of 24/7 Prayer and is a safe space where we hear from Pete on video, have time for discussion, and a chance to explore different ways of praying.
The group is for everyone whether prayer is second nature to you, whether you struggle with it, whether it’s simply something you’d like to do more or whether you’d like to broaden your understanding of ways we can pray.

Worship for Easter Day

Happy Easter!

Christ is Risen! He is Risen Indeed!

Welcome to the worship service from Cumbernauld Old Parish Church for Easter Day.

We are doing something different with the hymns, two of which are in four-part harmony with organ accompaniment, but with only two of us singing / playing. The wonders of technology!

The intimations at the beginning of the service give details about our plans to re-open the Church for worship starting on Sunday 25th April. We will continue to provide worship online for those who are unable to join us in person. There is also information for those who have been saving their small change in ‘coffee jars’ or wherever; we’ll collect them soon. And there’s also an update about our Easter fund-raiser. More about that below.
But, first, let us worship God together…
