St Congan’s Church is participating in the ‘Doors Open Days’ programme again this September.
We have completed our alterations to improve access to the Church and to provide a greater social space in the church for community activities, and invite visitors to see not only these facilities but also the context in which they have been carried out.
The Church will be open from 10am till 4pm, and refreshments will be available. We look forward to welcoming you to St Congan’s. For Wheelchair access use gate from Westhill Place off Knockie Road.
We will also be holding our Harvest Service, during which there will be a baptism, on October 1st. There will be a ‘bring and share’ Harvest Lunch in the Church following Service.

Posada is traditionally where a Mary and Joseph doll travel around the Parish during Advent seeking hospitality in people’s homes. The plan is to run a Diocesan Posada this year, involving all the nativity characters and in all 42 Churches. They will start in Orkney, Shetland and Braemar and end up at the Cathedral for Christmas Eve, and Inverurie for Epiphany.
This is a great way to connect with children on the fringes of our Churches or ouin Turrifft in the community.
Mary Murray (right), who received three dolls from St Andrews, Banff, in turn handed over the dolls to Ann McIlwraith on the 10th December in St Congan’s Church. Ann will take the dolls to St John’s, Cuminestown and will forward them in turn to Fyvie.
Another great way to connect with children is the Christingle service which takes place at St Congan’s on the 13th December when the collection will be donated to the Aberlour Child Care Trust. Following the service and the distribution of the Christingles there will be a finger buffet with tea and coffee.
