I went there today in the evening, 6.30pm and here were many people there. We all were given bread and wine - this happens not very often in Scottish kirks. He preached well and wore in blue with black and white Preaching Bands just too.
I enjoyed to go there this time. It was really nice we sang and one man did organ well.

I am going to Crown Court Church (originally from Scotland, hundreds years ago) this evening at 6.30pm. My local church is not having this evening today.
It is a really lovely church (kirk is what we call in Scotland!) and has nice people and very good man teaching and leading always.
There are really lovely pictures on the right side and flowers always there.
Also we have tea and coffee after the time.
You can see some of the pictures on www.crowncourtchurch.org.uk
And I also went on Saturday just before Christmas when they performed singing in Trafalgar and they did well there.

Daisymay you seem to think that it is uncommon for the people to recieve the elements in communion in a Church of Scotland. Maybe your post didn't mean that but referred to the frequency of communion, but I case any shipmates are in any doubt, the CofS practices an open table: any who present themselves may recieve the elements. If you happen to be there on a communion Sunday, that is, and these vary in frequency from congregation to congregation

The Scottish churches do not do the communion every time as do the English churches. But when they give us bread and wine it happens occasionally. It was not last Sunday.
It was a lovely time, good excellent speaking the man in charge - talking about Jesus. And an excellent man doing the music on organ. We sang well!
And really pretty red flowers there. And another little one about Jesus being a baby and those who visited Him!
And really nice tea and coffee and nice sweat to eat. And we all chapped then, nice people.

And today, at 1pm on Thursday always is a smaller time service and I went today, as I was able.
It was great and as normal - the man in charge spoke and let us to pray etc. There was a lovely woman who led us singing about God and we all sung too.
Down stairs we had tea and bits of sweet things and we could also have our own huge food as some people also have. We also had a lovely time to chat as we ate.

It is a lovely one and was made years and years ago, when the man from Scotland was the one in charge after the woman Elizabeth died, having been told to kill his mother. In Scotland they always call our Elizabeth as 1, not 2, because they did not have the ancient one theirs.
Also in Scotland many churches are called kirk.

Just to open this thread out a little, are there other churches (of any denomination) offering the sort of weekday service which daisymay has described?
Those of us from the C of E and RCC traditions are used, of course, to short mid-week Eucharists, but ISTM that, in some places, there may well be a market for a non-Eucharistic time of worship and fellowship during the week.....
.....thoughts?

In London certainly there are. If you look at City Events (and this only covers the actual square mile) it lists lots of daily opprtunties for prayer - mainly morning and evening but also lunchtime contemplative services (some with and without music).
I wasn't clear whether the weekday service described above at Crown Court was simply a midday prayer service. It would be interesting to know the order of service.

There are a number of URCs. The closest to me is Central URC. They give two options a monthly cafe style church and a weekly lunchtime slot.

I reckon I could go today to the Scottish one at 6.30pm as my English church does not have this evening.
It does take a long time on bus to get there !

I went on Sunday at 6.30pm and it was really excellent, good to sing, excellent organ man, and a really good woman speaking clear bits from Psalm and Luke. And the Rev. Philip Majcher was excellent speaking sermon.
And we had nice tea and coffee and nice things to eat with them. And many people were really nice to us as we all spoke to people.

It sounds like you have a had a lovely time daisymay, and it is good to hear that a wide range of services are on offer.
However, nobody seems to have much more to add to the discussion so I think we are done here!
