Welcome to St.
Ninian's Craigmailen Church Linlithgow
At St Ninian’s Craigmailen
Parish Church our congregation has a membership of about 500, and it
serves a parish of 5500 on the west side of Linlithgow. It has a number
of organisations about which you will find information on the following
pages.
The congregation runs a crèche, a Sunday school, and Buzz for young
children, those who are at primary, and teenagers, respectively. They
meet every Sunday, and Buzz meets on a Tuesday night too. In addition,
during the summer we run a Holiday Club for primary age children. The
congregation has Girls Brigade Company too, and this is for girls who
are interested in uniformed organisations with a specifically Christian
ethos.
If you like singing, we have a church choir that is always looking for
new members. The choir helps lead worship every Sunday, and it sings
anthems on special occasions such as Easter and Christmas. In addition,
Spectrum, our singing and entertainment group, is always on the lookout
for new members. It sings a broader range of songs including popular
music as well as hymns.
The Guild and Young Women’s Group provide a focus for the more social
activities of church life, and you will find details of each on the
following pages.
Those of you who are interested in worship and Christian discipleship
may find that our prayer and praise groups interest you. In addition,
we hold study groups for those who are interested in learning more
about the Christian faith.
At St Ninian’s Craigmailen, we do not forget that Christ has called us
to serve and show God’s love to the world. As part of this, we have
Chatterbox, which is a Parents and Toddlers group, and it is open to
everyone whether they are members of our congregation or not.
As a policy, the congregation of St Ninian’s Craigmailen Parish Church
supports, and has fully implemented, the Church of Scotland’s
guidelines regarding child protection and vulnerable adults. Its
leaders and volunteers who provide support for our organisations have
undergone SCRO checks and have completed the required training in these
areas.
