Christmas Praise at St James’ – Everyone welcome!
The choir will be giving a concert on Friday 4th October in St James Church at 7.30pm.
Tickets are £5.00 and are available from choir members, Buckley’s newsagents or you can pay at the door.
The choir will be singing a wide variety of songs: religious, non-religious, Scottish, German, light pop…
This is a pre-tour concert before the choir leave to sing in Donaueschingen in the south of Germany.
We do hope you can come to support us.

The choir are performing a wide variety of songs which will be sung mostly in English. The programme includes religious music, songs from musicals, folk and light popular music.
We are excited to be running a children’s holiday club in conjunction with the wonderful Out of the Box.
Out of the Box (Scotland) Ltd (OOTB) is a charity set up in 2004 to provide Christian outreach using puppetry, song and other forms of performing arts.
Chris Watt, Children’s Worker with OOTB, will lead the club, which will be held in the Hall at St James’ Church from 10am to 12 noon, Monday to Friday (15 – 19 July 2019).
At the lower age level, this means children who, by July 2019, have completed Primary 1 (it does not include children who will be starting P1 in August 2019).
The material was written by Chris and his colleagues at OOTB.
It has an outdoor adventure theme and includes videos shot in the Cairngorms, giving everything a “local” feel. As you would expect, there will be plenty of opportunity for craft-making, action songs, Bible stories, puppets, challenges and loads of fun (plus juice and snacks).
Margaret Burns and Rev. Geoff McKee have given talks to children at Hythehill and St Gerardine’s Primary Schools in the week beginning 10 June 2019 and children have received postcard flyers about the Club and registration forms. These should be returned by 24 June 2019 but “late” returns are still acceptable.
However, places may have to be limited. The room we use for the Club has a capacity of 80 and there will be up to 20 adult helpers. (From our previous experience with Holiday Clubs, we do not expect to be oversubscribed but you never know).
If there are still places available after 24 June (and we confirm that there are still places!), registration will remain open until all places are taken.
If you have any questions at this point about the Children’s Holiday Club in Lossiemouth, feel free to contact us via this website.
You can download a PDF consent/registration form by clicking here – or a Word version of the form by clicking here. Forms can be submitted to Peter Brash via the btinternet email address at the foot of the flyer image, below.

25-26 “You don’t have to wait for the End. I am, right now, Resurrection and Life. The one who believes in me, even though he or she dies, will live. And everyone who lives believing in me does not ultimately die at all. Do you believe this?”
John 11:25-26
