WORSHIP
WITH US
SUNDAY SERVICE
Black Isle East Church of Scotland meets at 10:30 a.m. on Sunday morning in the Rosemarkie church building.
The church gathers as a community who through worship are informed and encouraged for life and service around the Word of God.
TEACHING
From Advent to Epiphany and from Lent to Easter we follow the Church of Scotland’s suggested bible readings for weekly worship. At other times we have thematic series that cover a range of books and topics from both the Old and New Testament.
CURRENT FOCUS
Eastertide 2026
"Mission to Macedonia:
Europeans then and now -
learn about Jesus - God’s anointed one"
After Easter, we are looking at Acts from chapter 17 onwards. With the coming building renovations - our congregation wll have a more flexible physical space to welcome the community - in the meantime we can consider the lessons from early witnesses to the cities of Europe as they sought to bring the 'good news of the kingdom' to a watching world.

ALL AGES WELCOME
We use modern versions of the bible and each week there is an All-Age focus around a contemporary reading and song with other elements of worship also reflecting our modern context.
Services at key moments in the year like Advent, Christmas, Palm Sunday, Easter, Pentecost and Harvest also have a strong All-Age worship component.
The “Kids Korner” group welcomes youngsters who attend on Sunday mornings.
MUSIC
Our music includes traditional, contemporary and historical hymns, psalms and 'spiritual songs' drawn from the Church Hymnary 4 and Mission Praise, with other materials chosen from the CCLI resources and the legacy of church music.
Our worship is enhanced by our music group, Make a Joyful Noise (MAJN), who also prepare additional music for seasonal services and other events.
Music is supported by a new digital organ, an electric piano and, occasionally, other instruments.
