Services

 

We welcome everyone who would like to join us in worship

Please do check our Weekly Sheet (front page link) for up to date details. 

Our Sunday service is a Sung Eucharist at 10:15am.    
The Cathedral uses a modern language service  and our music is led by our Musical Director, James Campbell with the Cathedral Choir. 


We have a Wednesday Eucharist at 11am

Our Wednesday Eucharist uses the modern language service and is shorter for those who prefer or need a quieter time of worship. 


Evensong is sung on the 2nd Sunday of most months at 5.15pm.​​

This follows the Scottish Prayer Book, with sung canticles, hymns and a metrical psalm. 


Special Services ​​​​​​

At particular times of the year ~ Christmas and Easter, at Remembrance, Harvest and at other times of celebration or commemoration, St John's Cathedral offers special services. Please check our weekly sheet, facebook page, magazine and events pages for details of these. 


For Children

Although St John's does not have a Sunday School, we delight in sharing our worship with children and young people. For our younger members, we have a dedicated area with crafts and sheets that link to the theme of the service and toys for little ones. We hope that all will feel very welcome.


The Cathedral Choir

Our music is led by our Musical Director, James Campbell and the Cathedral Choir on Sundays, and by our Assisting Organist - George Cringles on Wednesdays. 

Members of the choir are drawn from amongst the worshipping community and lead us in our regular worship. They offer a wide range of choral music, through hymnody, service settings and anthems. Rehearsals are held weekly on Thursdays, if you would like to know more about the choir, or join them in singing, please contact James Campbell through our Contact Page.


The Organ in St John's Cathedral

The Organ by J Wood and Sons was installed in 1994 and provides a magificent foundation to our worship.
