Welcome - Tillicoultry Parish Church

Please join us during the Advent Season for a very short reflection each day, provided by the Minister and some members of the Congregation

This year we will be running an Advent Bible Study on Zoom for 4 weeks from Wednesday 2nd December. 2-30 - 3.30pm. You don't have to know anything about the Bible, or about Advent to join in what we hope will be a very friendly and informal group.
If you would like to join in, then please email the Minister for the link and the study notes. Everyone welcome - bring your own cuppa - cakes optional.

Our monthly Congregational prayer for December is below and we would encourage you to use it each day.

Just a thought to ponder on this day
when what wethought could never happen, has
and public worship has been suspended:

Christ’s Church is not closed!
The doors may be shut and locked
the lights out in the building up the street
But the Church isn’t closed.

We may be told to stay at home, self isolate,
We may be ill or too frail to come,
We may be disillusioned with the institution, or with God
But the Church isn’t closed

The Church cannot close because it is not a building.
The church is YOU, and me, and every child of God
Who feels the tug of His love and senses His presence,
Even in the darkness, even in loneliness,
Even in fear or sorrow.

The Church is open, though the building is closed.
It will stay open as long as His children stay open to God,
And seek his presence wherever they may be
This day Christ says to you,
“I am with you always”.

So take this moment to enjoy his companionship,
To be still, to give thanks and to hand over your cares
And know that you do so in company with God’s family,
not only in our building but all over the world.
