Advent Sunday ServiceGuest preacher at Largo Parish church's Advent Sunday service was the Rev Colin Brown, Moderator of the United Free Church of Scotland.
Mr Brown was welcomed to the service by Largo's interim moderator and locum minister, the Very Rev Dr Russell Barr. Having trained together at New College in the late 1970's, the pair have remained good friends ever since. Dr Barr said, "It was a pleasure to welcome Colin to Largo and to share the service with him. As well as being the current Moderator of the UF Church, Colin has been the denomination's Principal Clerk. As such he has been a leading figure in Scottish Church life over many years and very committed to working ecumenically with his colleagues in other denominations." Dr Barr added, "Colin preached on the importance of Advent as a time of listening, listening to God and listening to one another. What a better world it would be if we took his message to heart and really tried to listen". Who are we?Largo Parish Church came into being on 15 November 2017, a result of a union between the linked charges of Largo and Newburn and Largo St David’s churches.
The Kirk Session of the congregation operates under the Unitary Constitution and is committed to working together to reach out to our community as effectively as possible. |
Where are we going?We envisage developing a community hub at the Durham Hall, Lower Largo in the centre of the parish. Through this facility we hope to increase our contacts with the community, making use of social media for information.
It is our vision to engage more with our local community which includes opportunities such as informal services where people can ask questions and explore their faith and doubts. |
