Markinch Church Markinch Church Times of Services
Our main weekly services are held in Thornton Church at 9.45am and Markinch Church at 11.15am each Sunday morning.

Holy Communion is celebrated four times a year, in February, May, August and November. Induction Loop
The Church has fitted an induction loop for the hard of hearing. Anyone with a hearing aid can switch it to the ‘T’ position and they will be able to hear the Minister more clearly. Sunday School
Our Sunday School meets at 11.00am in the Church Hall, Kirk Brae, Markinch. Parents are encouraged to

bring their children into church for the first part of the 11.15am service then the children leave after the Children’s Address and the second hymn. Your Wedding Ceremony
Markinch Parish Church is a beautiful setting for your Wedding, but before dates are finalised you should speak to the Minister to ascertain his own, and the Church’s availability. A pamphlet entitled ‘Preparing for Your Wedding in Markinch Parish Church’ is available from the Minister or Session Clerk. Its contents are contained on the Weddings page. Baptism
The Sacrament of Baptism normally takes place on the first Sunday of each month. Parents wishing a baptism for their children should contact the Minister giving as much notice as possible.

DOORS OPEN DAYS 2026 - September 12th and 13th.
St Drostan’s Church in Markinch has one of the most perfectly preserved early Norman tower in Scotland.
Recently a large 12th century arch was discovered, and sections of it have been exposed. Its original appearance has been recreated by a wonderful mural painted by artist Donna Forrester.
The archaeology continues to uncover new features of this remarkable building which is believed to be one of the oldest buildings in Scotland still in continuous use.
Regular tours throughout the day from 10.30am to 5.30pm will explain the history and architecture of the church.

A huge thank you to everyone who supported our 'Music from the Movies' concert last Friday evening. An audience of around 240 people enjoyed a fantastic selection of musical excerpts from well known movies played by the Lumbre String Quartet. The setlist covered many genres, including many classic movies as well as Action and Adventure (Gladiator / James Bond Medley), Westerns (The Magnificent Seven / Dances with Wolves) and Fantasy (Harry Potter / Lord of the Rings).
We then went over to the Church Hall where we served up Prosecco and Puddings to everyone.

The next concert will be in St Drostan's Church on Sunday 4th October at 4pm when The Heisenberg Quartet will play some well known pieces by Beethoven, Schubert, Mendelsson and Dvorak. Tickets are now on sale at www.ticketsource.co.uk/markinchchurch

Be prepared for an evening of nostalgia …
Bring back memories of some of your best-loved films from Breakfast at Tiffany’s and The Magnificent Seven to James Bond, Indiana Jones and Harry Potter from some of the greatest film composers – John Barry, Henry Mancini, Ennio Morricone, and many more.

Meet the performers afterwards over a complimentary Prosecco or soft drink (donations very welcome).

The Lumbre Quartet (string quartet) was formed in 2025 by four musicians and friends who work together at Big Noise Douglas in Dundee. The name Lumbre in Spanish means fire, light or brilliance and the quartet enjoy shining a light on different themes and bringing music to life as they share it with their audiences. Their musical home is St. Paul's Cathedral in Dundee where they have played concerts since coming together.
