The Boys Brigade has a membership of 41 and meets every Monday evening. The session begins in September each year. The Girls Brigade has 58 members and meets on a Wednesday. The minister is Chaplain to both uniformed organisations.
The Guild meets each Wednesday in the local senior citizens centre. Between 30 and 40 attend. A wide-ranging programme of activities, meetings and trips takes place over the year, organised by the Guild Secretary.
We are running a mid-week Children’s Club over the summer months, a COSY coffeehouse on a Friday evening, and a Sunday Club beginning after the school holidays.
Buildings
We maintain our Church buildings, including an impressive pipe organ, to a high standard. We have a new, purpose built hall which combines a large and small hall with excellent facilities in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. The hall is used for congregational and community activities.
Finance
The Church is financially sound and all commitments are met from offerings and two donation days each year.
Website
The Church has an informative web site at www.holytownparishchurch.org.uk (you are here!)
Magazine
A monthly newsletter is produced (except July and August). The congregation pays a token subscription for it to help cover its production costs. Members of the congregation distribute it and it is available for collection at the church. You can also view online copies of the magazine in the parish news area on this website.
