| As congregations, we were linked in 1960 and have operated very successfully by co-operating together under a shared ministry. Both churches have active Sunday Schools, creche facilites and a range of organisations. We would be especially pleased to see you in person in one of the congregations at Sunday worship (9.30am in Chapelton and 11am in Strathaven) whether you are visiting the town of Strathaven or the village of Chapelton or are new to the area. Pew Bibles are available and there is an Induction Loop System fitted in both churches. There will be a Candlelit Watchnight Service in both Chapelton and Rankin again this year at 11.30pm. Please come along to this special service as we meet in the darkness of the midnight hour to welcome Jesus - The Light of the World - into our own lives. There will be a Christmas Morning Family Service in Rankin at 11am - please come along and support this special Service as we give thanks for the birth of Jesus Christ. Children (and adults) should bring along one of their presents to show the congregation. Sunday 28 December - Service of Carols - 9.30am (Chapelton) and 11am (Rankin). NEW VENTURE Mid-week services at both Chapelton and Rankin Churches have begun. The vision is to have an informal lunchtime Service on alternate weeks along with an opportunity to enjoy fellowship. There will be two Services per month at each Church. The Services last approximately half an hour and include some music, prayers and a short meditation. It is hoped that, in time, folks within the congregations will feel able to use their gifts and contribute to the Service by taking part and by contributing their ideas for the themes of the meditations. 'Time Out' on the first and third Wednesdays of the month in Rankin Hall is from 10.30am. Come along for a coffee + cake and, if you wish, you can stay for a short Service at 11.30am. The Chapelton Services are on the second and fourth Tuesdays at 11.30am with an opportunity to go to the Lunch Club afterwards and enjoy good food and fellowship.
This website gives you information about each of the churches and its organisations together with news and events. We hope that the information will be helpful to you. We would welcome any questions or comments you may have and an opportunity is given in the site menu to contact us by e-mail.
