This event will be running on Sunday evenings from 23rd November to 14th December. Entry through the Netherby Road door.
Video extracts from ‘The Nativity’ series with reflections on a different theme each week; a simple activity; tea, coffee and perhaps some seasonal treats. Everyone is welcome to one, some or all of these evenings.
If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to visit Nepal, wonder no longer. The talk at Wardie Guild’s meeting on Wednesday 26th November will be ‘Trekking in Nepal’ by Wendy Sodergren. Plenty of lovely photos guaranteed! Arrive at 10.15 for tea and coffee. The talk will start at 10.30. All welcome!
The Wardie Guild Programme for 2025–2026 has been released!
With an emphasis on friendship and support for each other (and plenty of coffee and cake!), the Guild welcomes a wide range of speakers on subjects serious and light hearted, supports charities, and keeps true to its founding purpose to honour God, ‘whose we are and whom we serve’. We meet nearly every two weeks on Wednesday mornings throughout the year.
Unless otherwise stated, Guild meetings are held in the Main Hall of Wardie Parish Church, Netherby Road, at 10.30am (coffee from 10.15am).
Do come along to any of our meetings. There is no requirement to be a member of the Guild. ALL are welcome.

Every other Saturday morning, we’re opening up the church for an hour so you can come in and have some quiet time. To begin with, we’ll hold this in the (unheated) church sanctuary, and then when the weather gets cold we’ll use the New Hall, to the left of the church, which will be heated.
Look out for the board outside to tell you where to go!
We’ll set up House of Prayer for contemplation and comfort. Soft music will be playing, and we’ll leave out some prayer prompts to get you started with thinking and praying. Everyone is welcome – just pop along for as long as you like during the hour.
Dates for the autumn are:
- 20th September
- 4th October
- 18th October
- 1st November
- 15th November
- 29th November
From 1–7 September it’s the Global Week of 24-7 Prayer. 24-7 Prayer International is inviting the global church to pray for every nation on earth. In more than 100 countries worldwide, more than 1000 prayer rooms are set up, ready to host night and day prayer.
There is a lot to pray about in our broken world, and 24-7 Prayer believes that this week of united prayer will make a real difference on a global, national, local and personal level.
If you’d like to join in, you can:
- sign up for an hour in 24-7 Scotland’s virtual prayer room – here – and then pray for that hour at home
- come along to one (or both!) of two hours of prayer being held at Wardie Parish Church – from 8pm to 9pm on Wednesday 3rd September (arrive at 7.45pm and buzz at the Netherby Road Door) and from 10am to 11am on Saturday 6th September
- pray a prayer written by 24-7 Prayer:
Father of the nations, we join with our global family, lifting voices and hearts to you, the Creator, who reigns over all.
Please hear our prayer: Lord, show us your glory.
Come quickly, shine brightly, illuminate every part of the world. May your glory be revealed by the power of the Holy Spirit, and your Son, Jesus, exalted across the earth.
Lord, show us your glory.
Strengthen your church, may it be a light in the darkness. Where there is weakness, give strength. Where there is fear, grant courage. And where there is despair, ignite hope.
Lord, show us your glory.
We ask for new life to spring forth, for joy to overflow and your kingdom to come. Help us to find our voice and empower our witness that we might proclaim your truth.
Lord, show us your glory.
Shine your light into the darkness, transform our nations, heal our land, and bring peace to all. Jesus, reveal yourself as the way, the truth, and the life throughout your beautiful planet.
Lord, show us your glory.
In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
