Up

On 1st January 2004, Forth Churches Group officially came into being...  we are still very much in the early stages of our collaborative ministry.  There are encouraging beginnings...

  • Prior to 1/1/04, we enjoyed fellowship and shared evening worship during Advent. 
  • Alasdair Campbell has been appointed as Parish Assistant to work primarily with Donald in Dalgety, but the job description agreed with National Mission puts his work clearly in the context of Parish Grouping.
  • Alasdair has been working on the collaborative arrangements for fortnightly worship at Henderson House.  This had previously been a shared activity (Dalgety and Aberdour) but is now very much a FCG event.
  • www.forthchurchesgroup.org.uk is up and running - and hopefully being mentioned in congregational publicity, newsletters and so on...
  • Small Youth Groups/ Bible Classes have mentioned the possibility of a Monthly FCG event.
