Sunday

On Sunday we have our Harvest Thanksgiving Service at 11.00 and at 13.30 the Black Watch Association will worship in our church. All welcome.

The original church was founded around 1190 and was the first parish church in Scotland to be organised according to the Reformed Faith.  Civic occasions such as the kirking of the Council and guildry services as well as Remembrance Day are held here.  

The church contains many outstanding examples of stained glass.  These include the splendid east window, gifted in 1897 in honour of Queen Victoria's diamond jubilee.  It was designed by Sir Edward Burne-Jones and executed by William Morris.

Stewards will be on hand to show visitors around.

Two floors of the building will be open, with exhibits about the history of the building and Quakerism in Dundee, including a talk at 2pm on Saturday. We will also have exhibitions on topics such as sustainability, peace and social justice from the various groups who use the building. Silent worship is on Sunday at 11am, all welcome. Fairtrade refreshments served during the events.
