Sunday 18th March was a red letter day for Balerno.  The Rt. Rev David Arnott, Moderator of the General Assembly, visited to preach and to open the newly refurbished St Joseph's Centre.  

The new St Joseph's Centre integrates the two halls (Ogston Hall and St Jospeh's Hall) into a first class facility for use by Balerno as a whole. The refurbished building provides not only bright new halls but disabled access, new toilets and an excellent new kitchen.  There are photographs in the Gallery.

We have a regular "All Age" service at 10.00am.  Our Sunday Club (Sunday School) join us for the first part of the service during school term-time and there is normally a crèche available during the service.

Tea and coffee are served in the Church after the service to which you're very welcome!

Our main Communion services are on the first Sundays of March, June and November.  If you would like a shorter communion service there will be an afternoon communion at 2.30pm on the last Sundays or February, May and October, the week before.  Anyone who would like someone to drive them to and from the service should please contact their elder, if you do not have an elder then please contact Kay Latimer (0131 449 6186).  

On the first Sundays of other months (except July and August) we have a short Communion service following our normal morning services.

Other Worship

Additional Services and other events often take place on Sunday evenings: look out for announcements on the What's On Calendar, our Church noticeboards or service intimations.

Recorded Services

Balerno Parish Church maintains an archive of CDs from each service.  These are delivered to those who are unable to attend services in the church.  If you know of anyone who would like to be on the dsitirubution list or if you simply want to know a little more about the recordings then please contact Brian Poulter (f This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it ).
