 Our morning services are held at 10.00 am in Bellie and 11.30 am in Speymouth. Refreshments are normally served in Bellie Church Hall after the Bellie service. A warm welcome is extended to all and we always look forward to meeting new people. In Bellie Parish Church, a group of local musicians provides music for worship on a rota basis. Accompaniment is provided either on pipe organ or on our Yahama Clavinova. The Bellie Praise Group, an all-age vocal group from within the congregation, is also involved with various services from time to time. In addition, all Sunday services are recorded and cassette tapes are circulated to housebound members on request to the Session Clerk.  The Fochabers Fiddlers are occasionally involved with church services. This is normally at the Christmas Eve services and our Scottish service, which takes place on the Sunday of the annual Speyfest music festival. The fiddlers were also involved with a special televised service when ITV's Sunday Service came to Bellie Parish Church in Autumn 2000.  Worship in Speymouth Parish Church has a slightly more traditional emphasis, with all hymns being accompanied by pipe organ.  Hymns in both churches are mainly sourced from The Church Hymnary 4th Edition, Mission Praise, Come and Praise and Common Ground. Holy Communion is celebrated four times per year at morning services in both churches in February, April, September and November. Short evening Communion Services are also held in the sheltered housing complex at Milnescroft on the same days, to which anyone is invited.  Both churches have installed a 'loop' system for the benefit of the deaf and hard of hearing and have good disabled access. To return to the home page, click here. |
