Organists

We have two regular organists, Hamish and Christine, who play at both the morning (11.00) and evening (6.30) services. Angus and Eilidh also occasionally help.

The Singing Group

The Singing Group is led by electric-piano and clarinet, plus several singers, and regularly takes part in the morning service (11.00) at Castle Street Church. We sing items from Combined Mission Praise, plus other new Christian songs, introducing these to the congregation.

Songs & Hymns

At present we use two main hymn books. These are the Church of Scotland Hymnary (3rd edition), and Mission Praise. We have a Christian Music Copyright Licence and so, from time to time, we also print or project other items of praise.

Prayers

At the morning service there are two main prayers, usually led by the minister. The opening prayer focuses on worship and thanksgiving. The second prayer is for intercession (praying for others). Apart from the minister, various members of the congregation also lead the prayers.
