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.

Chinese Evangelical Church

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

A TIME TO REMEMBER

Michael Ian Douglas Sturrock

Saturday 20 October 2007 – 10.45 for 11 am at Mayfield Salisbury Parish Church, Edinburgh.

Words of Welcome by Anne Sturrock


Mike visualised a “gathering” here but, in his modesty, he would not have dreamt of such a huge turn-out – in fact, he would have been totally embarrassed !

To one and all thank you for being here to Celebrate his Life. Many have travelled a long way. Others can’t be here but are with us in spirit and say they will light another candle this morning.

In all those supportive letters friends have asked about a Cause to subscribe to in his memory. It’s Marie Curie Cancer Care – they were so good to Mike. They urgently need medical equipment costing £800 each and it would be good to think we might raise enough funds to purchase one, two - or even three - syringe drivers. Please give generously today - or later .


Mike wanted us to have a reunion afterwards. I know that the catering team will work wonders. We chose a loaves and fishes theme….

Enjoy the singing and the music, the photographs and the memories - let us remember the good times…meet new people and renew friendships.

And, for this huge HUG of support, Frances and I thank you all.

Introduction by Revd Scott S McKenna BA BD MTh Parish Minister, Mayfield Salisbury Parish Church

The Grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

We gather here to remember Mike Sturrock, to give thanks for the life of a good man and to acknowledge our loss now that he has gone.

We mourn but are not mournful. Our feelings of loss are rightly accompanied by feelings of gratitude for having known him. We celebrate Mike’s life, a life of faith; a gentle man, a man of integrity; thoughtful, helpful and a man of smiles.

The poet and priest, John Donne, wrote:

Death be not proud, though some have called thee Mighty and dreadful, for, thou art not so, For those, whom thou think’st, thou dost overthrow, Die not, poor death, nor yet canst thou kill me.

Thou art slave to Fate, Chance, kings, and desperate men, And dost with poison, war, and sickness dwell, And poppy, or charms can make us sleep as well, And better than thy stroke: why swell’st thou then? One short sleep past, we wake eternally, And death shall be no more; death, thou shalt die.


Jesus said, ‘I am the resurrection and the Life: he who believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and whoever lives and believes in me shall never die.’ We meet in the presence of the Risen Christ. He assures us that from death we will wake and wake eternally.

Let us worship God.
