6th January is Epiphany, when we traditionally remember the Magi, who followed a very special star.
The 12 days of Christmas are at an end and the church’s Nativity display and Christmas trees are being taken down this morning.
The star on the Bell Tower will remain for now, shining out into the darkness as a symbol of hope in these strange and challenging times.

From Friday 7th January 2021 all places of worship must close during this new lockdown.

Please be aware funeral services and weddings are still allowed to be held but with very restricted numbers.

You can find the Church of Scotland’s latest Guidance here.  

Please contact Rev Alison McBrier or Session Clerk, Margo McMurdo (contact page), if you have any questions?

Donations and givings

Dunlop is a small, friendly village in rural Ayrshire.
We in Dunlop Parish Church of Scotland feel that our church is at the heart of the community.
We have a long and proud history of loving and serving the people of our parish, which also includes the communities of Burnhouse, Lugton, Newmill and the Halket.

Dear friends and neighbours, as this crisis develops it is increasingly clear that we need to avoid physical contact and stay at home as much as possible, so the church doors will have to remain closed.
We know that God is always active in our lives and our world.
There has been tremendous community spirit in the parishes of Caldwell and Dunlop, and we are seeing that reflected across the country.

I'm going to have a shot at using Facebook Live for a short time of reflection and prayer on Sunday morning. Look out for that on the Church Facebook pages. I'll also provide a range of on-line resources to help you worship in your own homes. Check the TV and Radio schedules for other Acts of Worship that you can watch or listen to.
Remember that physical distancing does not mean social distancing - we are social creatures and we can maintain our social contact by whatever means we have - on and off-line. Emails, phone calls, waving and smiling at a safe physical distance.

And we can pray - for our communities - people of all ages.
For all those whose lives and occupations are disrupted, and who are struggling with financial uncertainty.
For those who are working to maintain supply chains, and essential services. For our civic and religious leaders.
For all those who work in healthcare - in whatever capacity.
For researchers and scientists who are working to create treatments and a vaccine.

Keep caring for each other, as I know you are.
Please pass on my words here to anyone you know is not on-line.
Peace, and hope, and love be with you all,
Alison
