Dunbarney and Forgandenny Church

Coronavirus (COVID-19)

Due to the most recent changes to the Government guidelines, our church buildings are now allowed to open for Sunday Worship, weddings and funeral services. At the moment, the Kirk Session has decided that regular Sunday worship will take place in Dunbarney Church at 10.30am but occasional worship will take place in Forgandenny Church in the afternoon. We are restricted to 21 people in the church on a Sunday morning in Dunbarney and 16 couples in Forgandenny in order to keep with 2m physical distancing restrictions. If you would like to attend in person, please contact Anne Rodgie (Church Secretary) in the Church Office on Friday mornings between 9.00-12.00 noon (01738 812463). We also will continue to stream services on Facebook Live and the Phone Broadcast system (01738 239392).

If you would like to speak to anyone about any of the points in this letter, please contact Allan Wilson (Minister) or Anne Larg (Session Clerk).

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.

Christian Aid Week: 10-16 May 2021

This climate crisis hurts us all. But people living in poverty fight the worst of it every day.
From drought to flooding, climate change robs people of control over their lives. Extreme weather means people like Rose are struggling to survive without a reliable source of water.

Your gift could help a community build an earth dam, so when the rains do come, they will have the water they need to live. A reliable source of water will help families withstand long drought or relentless rainstorms. Every envelope. Every gift. Every challenge can change lives. Please give what you can and help Rose fight this climate crisis.

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) we are holding a single service on a Sunday morning in Dunbarney Church at 10.30am with additional occasional services at Forgandenny Church at 2.00pm. The 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.
