Church Affiliated Organisations

Several organizations have affiliated themselves with our church. These include the Sunday School, the St. Andrew's Guild, the St. Andrew's Scottish Country Dance Club, The Southmuir Carpet Bowls Club, Yoga classes and the Angus Strathspey and Reel Society.

Sunday School

Sunday SchoolOur Sunday School meets every Sunday at 11.15am during school term times from the middle of August to the end of June. At the moment the ages range from 3 to 13.

We gather together in the Board room first of all and then we join the congregation for the first part of the service which includes singing, prayer and a story which usually involves the children and they always have something to look at.

We then go back to the Board Room to continue our time together. We use the Scripture Union material SALT to help us nurture our children in the Christian Faith. We have three groups using appropriate material for their ages. We also use drama and music to help children understand the message.

We also have a Bible class for our older children to take them forward in their faith.

All children are very welcome to come along and join us.

The Society meets each Monday evening between mid-September to mid-May in the Boardroom of St. Andrew's Kirk, Glamis Road, Kirriemuir at 7.30 p.m. The practice usually goes on for about 1 hr. 30 mins. The Society plays out at many - mainly charity based - functions in, and furth of Angus. Its membership comprises all age groups - from 12 years to 90 years! - and all occupations.

Please join us if you wish. A basic grade 3 Standard should suffice to get you going!

St Andrew's Church Art Collection

St Andrew's Church Art Collection The St Andrew's Church Art Collection was brought together by church member Sandy Wilkie in late 2000 to augment the fundraising activities of the Church to help it carry out its valuable work in the local community & the wider world. All the Art Collection income is for that purpose.

The Collection is in two parts: one part digital photographs and the other part fine art prints. All are mounted in hand-cut bevelled mounts in sizes to fit U.K.standard size picture frames. Some of the digital photographs and the fine art prints are already framed and available for purchase at very reasonable cost.

All stock is available for sale at various Church & local fundraising events throughout the year.
