Online Worship for the Second Sunday after Pentecost

For the Second Sunday after Pentecost (14 June) the Most Rev Mark Strange, Bishop of Moray, Ross & Caithness and Primus of the Scottish Episcopal Church, celebrates the Eucharist from St Duthac’s Chapel, Arpafeelie.

Bishop Mark will be joined digitally by people from the Diocese of Moray, Ross & Caithness and the Diocese of Glasgow & Galloway.

The Rev Katrina O’Neill (St Andrew’s Cathedral, Inverness) is the deacon for the service. The readers are Petko Marinov (St Oswald’s, Maybole); Robert Burgon (Treasurer, Diocese of Glasgow & Galloway) and the Gospeller is the Rev Canon Gordon Fyfe (St Columba’s, Largs).

The intercessions are read by the Rev Simon Scott (St Columba’s, Brora), the Very Rev Alison Simpson (St Columba’s Nairn, Dean of Moray, Ross & Caithness) and the Ven Richard Gillings (St Columba’s, Grantown-on-Spey & St John the Baptist, Rothiemurcus). The organist is Michael Bawtree.

The service will begin at 11am on Sunday June 14.

Recently, we introduced a telephone service to allow those who do not have internet access to listen to the service of worship by telephone. The facility is free of charge for anyone calling by landline or mobile phone from within the UK. It will be helpful if those who have online access to worship continue to use that method rather than using the telephone line, to avoid unnecessary additional cost incurred by the GSO, and we would also appreciate help in reaching non-internet users who are unable to see this information.

Anyone who would like full details of how to access the telephone line, in order to share them with someone who needs this service should email AidanS@scotland.anglican.org.

The broadcast will be available for all to access on YouTube and Facebook. Subtitles are available on both platforms, if selected by the user. Look for the CC icon at the bottom of the display screen on YouTube; on facebook, go to Settings, then Video, then select Always Show Captions.

The Scottish Episcopal Church website will also contain downloadable video and audio formats of the services, when these are ready.

We encourage people to distribute the video/audio recordings and the Liturgy widely within their own personal networks. In households with no internet or playback capacity at all, if people are simply given the opportunity to read the words of the Liturgy to themselves close to the appointed time, they will be praising God along with others in the Church.
