Mayfield Salisbury Parish
(Edinburgh) Church of Scotland

Mayfield Salisbury Parish (Edinburgh) Church of Scotland offers a wide variety of worship for all of the community

9:30am All-Age Informal Worship

Open to anyone who wants to come along, with activities for adults as well as children of all ages. This service lasts around 40 minutes. The early service will be conducted in the sanctuary.

The music is contemporary, the prayers are participative, the educational activities for children are age appropriate, including drama, games, modelling, drawing and eating to name but some of the activities. The adults have an opportunity to look more deeply at passages of the Bible always with a view to their modern (or post-modern) applicability to life.

10:15am Coffee

A chance to meet and have a chat either after or before your service depending on your preferred style of worship.

10:45am Traditional Worship

Open to anyone who wants to come along, lasts 1 hour and is held in the sanctuary (enter Mayfield Road). The music is varied, including traditional hymns and modern songs. The organ is the principal instrument, but a variety of instruments are used from time to time. The service offers more reflective worship, with choir contributions, and the sermon is a central part of the worship. This service offers both high quality worship and in-depth reflection on passages of the Bible, and always with a view to the Bible's applicability to life today.

Coffee is served after this service also.

7:00pm Evening Prayers

Open to anyone who wants to come along, lasts 30 minutes and is held in the south transept of the sanctuary (entrance on Mayfield Road).
This is a read service, with mostly quiet reflective music (including Taize and Iona songs and chants), with responsorial psalms and prayers. The principal instrument is piano, though flute and unaccompanied singing is also experienced often. Silence forms a significant part of this service. The service is intended to be therapeutic and spiritual in flavour rather than with an emphasis on education.

The Chinese Evangelical Church in Edinburgh meets for Sunday services at Mayfield Salisbury at 1:30 PM.

House Groups

[edit]

The HOUSE GROUP INITIATIVE is coming ARE YOU READY?

It is some 20 years since the last initiative to start new House Groups and this is a new one for 2008. House Groups are a way of strengthening one another in our faith journeys, for any age and any stage of life - no previous experience necessary other than a desire to grow in faith in a non-threatening and supportive environment.

Benefits

  • Develop and deepen faith
  • Broaden understanding of the gospel
  • Fellowship and fun in small groups of 6-8 in members homes
  • Members of existing House Groups use phrases such as "helpful", "educational", "good for me and my faith", "lots of laughs", "fellowship and support in times of crisis", "environment for getting involved in outreach and faith in action projects"

The books / study material will be provided in the first instance by the Church - groups then go on to make their own choices.

Categories of subject offered are:

  • Bible based (verse by verse study)
  • Justice and peace issues (eg climate change, slavery)
  • Books on Christian themes (eg works of Richard Holloway)
  • Spiritual issues including writings (eg works of Celtic writer David Adam), prayer and meditation

Find out more at church on Sunday 13 January!
