Dunbarney and Forgandenny Church

Coronavirus (COVID-19)

The Kirk Session continues to meet and a sub-committee has been formed to consider and take forward some very important work with regard to re-opening our buildings post COVID-19. As you know we have now entered phase 3 of emerging from lockdown. We are working towards opening the buildings again but we will only do so when we consider it wise. Until the Kirk Session and presbytery are satisfied that suitable arrangements are in place, the buildings will remain closed. This includes other services such as weddings and funerals. At present there are no plans to open for private worship but this of course is subject to change at any moment as rules change. In the meantime, we will continue with the weekly services on Facebook and via the phone.

Once again, may I remind you we have a super church garden with prayer stations around Dunbarney Church. There is also a labyrinth that has been set up around the cross. Please use this wonderful space as a first step in returning to the church.

Welcome to Our Congregation

From the Rev Allan J. Wilson
Parish Minister, Dunbarney and Forgandenny Church.

Welcome to Dunbarney and Forgandenny Parish Church website. We are an active congregation of the Church of Scotland (Presbyterian) that serves our Parish, which includes the villages of Bridge of Earn & Kintillo, Forgandenny and Oudenarde. Our congregation is part of the Presbytery of Perth. We are a united congregation but retain two church buildings.

Normally both buildings have a Sunday service every week - apart from those occasions when we have a united service. At the moment however, due to Coronavirus (Covid-19) the buildings are closed to the public and there are no services on a Sunday morning until further notice. Instead, a service is live-streamed on Facebook Live through our Facebook Page at 10.30am. It would be great if you could join us. Go to our Facebook page and ask to join.

Dunbarney and Forgandenny Parish Church has served the local community in one way or another, for well over 250 years. Our aim is to be a place of Christian worship and outreach and a hub for the community enabling people to connect with Jesus and one another. We are welcoming and hospitable. We want to build each other up in faith and to love one another. As an 'Eco-Congregation' we also try - through prayer, worship and action - to discover what it means to care for God’s creation. We hope that the information on this website will show something of who we are and what we try to do for the community.

In a website, we can only scratch the surface of what we are about and give a small flavour of the work and worship that takes place in the church. We hope that when the time comes, you will be able come along on a Sunday or perhaps, to one of the groups that meets throughout the week. I'm sure you would be made so welcome.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask. However, the best way to find out who we are is to experience us in person—come join us! Your are most welcome.
