A prayer for Sunday 8 March

God, giver of life, we thank You for all Your gifts to us
for warmth and shelter
for friends and family
for work and vocation.
As you have abundantly blessed us
may we hold out Your blessing for others.
Lord, to Your abundance, we bring the hungry, the thirsty,
the loveless and the hopeless.
We bring those who live on the margins today, praying for Your transformation.
We bring those we care for and those we may never meet.
Lord, transform us, enable us, in Your power and out of Your abundance
to transform the lives of others.
In the name of Christ.

Amen.

(From The Church of Scotland worship materials.)

Welcome

Welcome to our website!

We are a congregation of the Church of Scotland with a passion for sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ formed in August 2025 after a union between Macduff Parish Church and Whitehills Parish Church. Our aim is that everyone in our towns, parish and beyond will hear about the saving Grace of Jesus and our prayer is that many men, women, boys and girls will respond to His invitation to follow Him. We are a lively church with a lot going on for all-ages during the week, not just Sundays.

So take some time to look through this site to find out more about what’s happening here. It will give you a flavour of who and what we are as a congregation. More immediate information can be found on our Facebook Page. We hope that as you browse our site and Facebook page, you will want to come and join us in worship and our other activities, but more importantly, that you may be encourage to find out more about Jesus.

Our church building in Macduff has stood on its present site since 1805, overlooking the town and harbour. Adjacent to it stand the town cross and a large historic anchor, recovered from the bay, both of which together provide a symbolic reminder of the message of the church - that Jesus Christ, crucified and risen, is our steadfast anchor in life; and as our church tower was once used to guide boats into the harbour. Not far from the St Brandon’s Centre in Whitehills, beside the harbour, is a compass rose representing one of the tools used by fishermen to bring them safely back to the village. It is our hope and prayer that Christ s light will guide you through life and, in time, into His heavenly harbour.
