Such a beautiful autumn wedding at St James yesterday. We couldn't use the church but the hall looked stunning. Wonderful atmosphere and the home team did an awesome job of hosting: decor and flowers, music, stewarding, reception and some very complex logistics all managed seamlessly. Big thanks to all concerned ❤️

Burns night celebration last night at St James. Two harps, two accordions and lots of dancing. We loved having our neighbours from St Ninians and St David's with us too.

Warm Winter Worship in the hall: Advent Sunday celebration. And it was Warm! Join us again this week at 11am for Advent 2 and a special Anthem from the Advert choir as we think about what it means to 'prepare the way for the Lord'.

Warm Winter Worship starts today as we celebrate Advent! After Creationtide we realised that we simply have to reduce our carbon footprint so we're moving to the hall for the next few months. 11am at St James Inverleith Row. No doubt the layout will evolve and some artwork will appear soon!

Massive thanks to everyone for the stunning flowers. It means so much that they came from your gardens. I knew there were a lot of green fingers in the church but had no idea just how many incredible gardeners there are! Special thanks to expert flower arranger Toni for putting them all in bunches so they were easy to put into vases. They are now all over the house looking and smelling wonderful. I'm doing my best to get better and hope to be back with you all soon. Jxx

Many of us gathered this morning for our Ash Wednesday service with imposition of ashes, Holy Communion, and candles for Ukraine. The church will be open at 11am every Wednesday in Lent. Join us for a short service, 'sacred space', and refreshments, or just come in, wander around, and find a quiet corner for reflection.
