"Loving God and serving our neighbour...serving God and loving our neighbour"
Our groups
We have a range of activities within our church - Sunday School (with creche), Youth Group, Guild, Prayer Group
and our Social Committee work tirelessly on various
events throughout the year.
Below are some pictures of events we have held this year .
A warm welcome is given to anyone who would like to join us at any of our events or groups. Below are some of them:
Prayer Group
Our usual monthly Prayer Meetings held on the last Wednesday of each month (not December) in the Session House beside Madderty Church will due on the Coronavirus not be held until further notice. The Prayer Group meetings gives an opportunity for anyone to draw aside for a time and pray silently or in company with others over matters which are important to them be they personal, local or international. The time is restricted to one hour and everyone is very welcome. If you would like to know any more please contact David Cameron 01764 683264 or Judith James 01738 730378 We will confirm when the meetings resume.
Guild
GUILD
Our local group meets on a regular basis throughout the winter/spring periods at Madderty. The meetings are held in Madderty Church Session House. Everyone is welcome.The next meetings of the Guild are as follows:
Madderty Guild held a Festival of Flowers in Madderty Church on the 27th and 28th May which included a display of Wedding Dresses and Christening Robes worn in Madderty Church. See the picture from the event above.
They where delighted to have so many visitors who enjoyed the day. They also thanked all the people and groups involved in the event. Special thanks to the Madderty Primary School and DIY Group and the Sunday School who created their own arrangements. Below are some photos to remind you of the event. We are pleased to confirm the event has made £803.
DIY GROUP
The purpose of the group is to allow young people an opportunity to get together and discuss issues that are important to them,get out and about when the weather is fair, and to get involved in the community by raising money for charities of their choice and to generally have some fun together.
At the Christmas Fayre in Madderty Hall, the DIY group joined in alongside the church on their cake & candy stall, and sold homemade shortbread and pretty jars of hot chocolate mix.
We raised £172, which was divided equally between charities chosen by the young people. These were Cancer Research UK, Parkinson’s UK and MS Research, which the young people felt were relevant to themselves or people close to them.
Recently the group have attended the Norrie Miller Walk Light Show in Perth, and also took part in the churches 'Festival of Flowers' last May. The picture on the right shows the arrangement the girls put together and displayed on the day.
We always have food of some kind which is often linked to the activity we are involved in on the evening. All young people of secondary age are warmly invited to come along.

Messy Church
If you are looking for the activities mentioned in the church magazine, we have put these on our "church magazine" page. You can download and do the activities from that page. Hope you enjoy them, let us know if you do!
Messy Church is a form of church for children and adults that involves creativity, celebration and hospitality. It typically includes a welcome, a long creative time to explore the biblical theme through getting messy; a short celebration time involving story, prayer, song, games and similar; and a sit-down meal together at tables.
All elements are for, and should include, people of all ages, adults and children. It's all-age. It's fun. It's a church for people at all stages of their faith journey and of any age - a congregation that is as valuable and worthy of investment as any of your other congregations.
Here are some pictures from our Easter Messy Church held on Saturday 13th April 2019.
Sunday School
The Sunday School takes place at Madderty and Gask Church Services. The children are present for a short part of the church service. They then go with their leaders to Sunday School which finishes at the same time as the service.
All age groups can be catered for.
There is a Creche for under 3's and the Sunday School groups are from 3 years - P7.
The picture of the tree below was a Sunday School project, with everyone encouraged to design and colour their angel, and make a donation to Crossreach and a thank you to our Sunday School teachers from Anna and Katie.
