Format of Sunday Services

Worship at Williamwood is at 11.00 every Sunday morning and other times as announced. The format of worship is traditional and we use CH4 and the Good News Bible. The choir lead our singing and contribute to worship with a range of anthems, both traditional and modern. 

You can also watch our service live on Zoom.  If you are not already on our mailing list you can contact Evelyn Wallace or the minister.  

Flowers in the Church

There is a flower calendar in the vestibule of the Church and if you would like to donate flowers for the chancel please add your name to it.

There are flowers in a vase in the chancel every Sunday.  They are delivered every week to those who need our thoughts or best wishes on behalf of the members of Williamwood

Some members of The Kirk Session

Kirk Session members are the elders of the Church and are chosen from those members of the Church who are considered to have the appropriate gifts and skills to pursue the spiritual affairs of the Congregation. The Kirk Session meets regularly on the 3rd Wednesday of January, March, May, September and November.  Additional meetings may be called for specific purposes.

The Congregational Board

Here are some of the board members who are appointed from within the Congregation.   Board Members are nominated and then appointed at the Stated Annual Meeting and serve for a period of three years after which they may seek re-election. They contribute to the management affairs of the Church.  Board Meetings are February, April, June, October and December
