Sunday 5th October (the final Sunday in the Season of Creation) is the day when the congregation of St Andrew’s will celebrate their Harvest Festival.

The service will be as follows:

  • St Andrew’s, Tain at 11:00am
  • The service will be followed by a ‘Bring and Share‘ Harvest Lunch
  • Note – this is also a ‘Bring a friend to Church‘ Sunday, so visitors are especially welcome both at the service and for lunch afterwards.
  • There will be collecting boxes for tins, packets and other food stuffs for the Tain Food Bank, so please share freely of your bounty with those less fortunate than you.

All are welcome.

So bring the first of the fruit of the ground that the Lord, has given you. You shall set it down before the Lord your God and bow down before the Lord your God. Then you, together with the Levites and the aliens who reside among you, shall celebrate with all the bounty that the Lord your God has given to you and to your house.

Easter Ross Doors Open Day Weekend 20th/21st September

sheumais Events, Notices
St Andrew’s Church, Tain

Every September you can explore hundreds of fascinating buildings across Scotland for free. Some open up once a year, some just once in a lifetime. As it is such a diverse region, the Highlands is split into three areas across three weekends. buildings in Inverness, the Black Isle, and Easter Ross are open this Weekend (20th and 21st September) 

This year’s shared European Heritage Days theme is Architectural Heritage: Windows to the Past, Doors to the Future. This theme celebrates the rich diversity of buildings that surround us, exploring buildings and infrastructure of all styles and scales. In that context, St Andrew’s Episcopal Church in Tain will be open on both days as follows:

  • Saturday 20th September – 10am until 4pm for visitors
  • Sunday 21st September – 10:30am until 12:30pm for worship and fellowship (visitors most welcome) and again 1pm – 4pm for visitors.

On both days, we will offer refreshments and the opportunity to look round the building either using a specially prepared guide booklet or by being shown highlights by a member of the congregation.

There is some very fine Stained Glass by Ballantine and Gardiner, A. L. Ward, W. Wilson and E. B. Souden

The Musicians Window

Mousey Thompson Furnishings

Our lovely unaltered 1914 C & F Hamilton (Edinburgh) organ

and much more.

All are very welcome to visit on either day.

NEW – CHORAL EVENSONG CHOIR!!

Choral evensong is one of the jewels of Episcopalian worship. We want to introduce opportunities at various times in the year to take part in this type of service. The thing is, we need a good choir to help lead us. I am asking all those who might be interested in such a group to get in touch with me by email at episcopalpriestdornoch@gmail.com and/or to come along to a first meeting and ‘sing’ in St Finnbarr’s Church, Dornoch on Tuesday 19th August at 7pm. If you know anyone from outwith our regular congregations who might be interested – SPREAD the WORD and invite them along!
