Unless otherwise noted, all the events shown will be held at Rosyth Methodist Church. You can get directions at this link.
This calendar is mostly for our regular worship and church-focused meetings, plus special meetings of other groups and ecumenical events. However, as explained at this link, our building is in use throughout the week by other groups, and their regular meetings have not been listed here, to make the calendar less cluttered.
For Holy Week 2019, we’ve produced a downloadable poster listing what’s on at our church and the Parish Church in addition to the normal services.

Come and help us celebrate our Sunday@Six Creation and Enlightenment
The Age of Enlightenment covered the period from the late 17th century to the early 19th century and was a time when there was significant activity in the fields of natural science and philosophy. Our service will briefly examine the contribution of four people from this period whose work left a lasting legacy and our worship will be enriched by music from this period supported by the choir and the praise band. Do come and invite your friends to join us for what we hope will be an interesting and uplifting service.
An important part of these Sundays@Six is the opportunity they give for fellowship after the services. So, when you read the invitation to stay behind for tea/coffee and refreshments, please don’t rush away!
