A warm welcome to

the East Church!

We are a Church of Scotland eco-congregation. We are linked with Shapinsay Church of Scotland and partnered with Bindula Parish – Bindula, Nahache and Ntundama congregations – in the Presbytery of Thyolo in Malawi. Our priorities are worship and outreach.

Kirkwall East meet every week at 11:15 am. There will also be a joint community carol singing at 11 pm at the Cathedral on Crhsitmas Eve, followed by a short watchnight service at 11.30 pm, as well an all age Christingle service on Christmas Day at 11.15 am. All welcome!

Offering is collected on plates resting on small tables in the upper vestibule.  

Words for hyms and responses are projected onto the wall but the hymnbooks are available too.

We stream our services live on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7Yg_uFSQsU7UWDC2SSnyCA. If, for whatever reason, you cannot join us in person, please feel free to join in our services remotely online, by email or by telephone 01856 404667.
