Our church building forms the centrepiece of the Aberdeenshire village of Rhynie (popn. 676), some 40 miles from the city of Aberdeen. At the head of the village square, it’s overlooked by the towering Tap O’Noth, 563 metres high, at whose summit lies a large vitrified Iron Age fort.
We’re a congregation of the Church of Scotland, and the roll presently stands at 372.
Sunday service begins at 10.30 a.m., and a thriving Sunday School starts half an hour earlier. The children join us for the second half of the main service.
Our worship, perhaps typically of our denomination, is unimpaired by ritual or ceremony which sometimes can get between the worshipper and God. Sermons are direct and plain-spoken, soundly based on the Word of God, and aimed at encouraging people to view and to accept Christianity as a way of life, rather than simply a creed or “Sunday religion”.
Our praise music is a lively mix of modern songs and old favourite hymns.
