Holytown Parish Church
Background
In 2006, the Presbytery of Hamilton proposed the appointment of an Interim Minister to the congregations of Holytown and
Wrangholm Kirk: New Stevenston.
This proposal came following an unsettled period in both congregations due to the illness of the minister in one congregation,
a short ministry in the other. A vacancy in both and the decision that the congregations should be linked. The linkage was
formed on Thursday, 26 October 2006, when the Interim Minister was introduced.
In December 2007, the Presbytery of Hamilton agreed that we be granted an unrestricted call.
Services
Service times are
10.00 a.m. at Holytown Parish Church
11.30 a.m. at Wrangholm Kirk
We hold a joint service on Good Friday, with each Church taking turns at being host.
Both Churches have hearing loop and public address systems. Volunteers from the congregation and members
of organisations normally undertake scripture readings.
Chaplaincy
The minister in this charge has the responsibility of being Chaplain to Holytown And New Stevenston Primary Schools.
