Photo Album


	Parish Photo Album This is a collection of images that reflect our church in all seasons. We invite you to spend some time with us through this pictorial essay....We are the Living Church of Newmachar

The new annex was dedicated Easter 2007 and offered a wider entrance, a welcoming foyer, restroom facilities, a small downtairs kitchen, office, crèche, multi-purpose room and expanded kitchen. More importantly, it gave us a new sense of dedication as this was something we had accomplished as a church family. From fund raising, to planning and through the dust of construction, a new church annex was built and a church family was further united.

A church must be more than prayers and hymns on Sunday to properly nurture the souls of its members. We find praise and fellowship support and sustain our devotion to God and His plan for our lives. From Easter Egg Hunts to luncheons and teas; evenings of games or old classic movies with freshly made popcorn, we come together under God’s roof.

Our Annual Crafty Carollers Christmas Party (above and below) involves the entire community. We begin with carollers wandering through the village to the Guide & Scout Hall for a party of crafts, carols, food and fun.

Crafts at the Kirk (below and right) has been meeting for two years and continues to be a great success. It brings together church members and non-church members for a time of fellowship, laughter, talking and crafting. All under God’s roof where He can work His magic.

Crafts at the Kirk appeals to all ages and interests.
We have regular attendants from age 8 to 78.
We also offer special craft days for the younger children.
