This Sunday, 14 June, will be the last Sunday that the Rev Peter Nimmo will lead us in worship as our Minister. Peter will lead us, from the Manse, in a service of Holy Communion.
You take part in the service either over the Internet, or by phone. Contact us for details of how to watch or listen.
Please join us before the service begins at 10am.
Please prepare before the service a small cup or glass of wine, and some bread, which you (and anyone in your house who wishes to) can partake of during the service.
After the service, there will be a short presentation by our Session Clerk, and a chance for a chat via Zoom.
If are unsure of of how to take part, feel free to call Peter before Sunday, and he will be happy to talk you through the process.
The service will be recorded and posted to our YouTube channel. We will also distribute CDs to those who want them.

We will have online services for Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter Sunday:
On Maundy Thursday we are invited to join a live service, at 7pm, led by the Rev Douglas Robertson, at Crown Church. This will be found at on “Crown Church, Inverness” Facebook page (you don’t have to be a Facebook member to see it). It will be a communion service, and Douglas is inviting people to set up their own ‘communion table’ at home before the service starts, to share in a short but familiar Communion liturgy.
On Good Friday there will be an audio service of prayers and readings let by our Pastoral Assistant, the Rev Arthur Sinclair.
For Easter Sunday there will be an audio Sunday service led by Deacon Dot Getliffe and others from the congregation.
Both the Good Friday and the Easter Sunday services will be on Soundcloud, and there will be links from this website, on our Facebook page, and on the @invernesschurch Twitter account.
This year we are sharing Holy Week with our friends at Ness Bank Church of Scotland and St John’s and St Michael’s Episcopal Churches. Do join us as we prepare for Easter!

This Sunday, 21 June 2015, at our 11.15 service, we welcome at the Old High Church members of the Highland Branch of the Royal Scots Association following the two hundredth anniversary of the Battle of the Waterloo.
Ensign James Grant Kennedy, appears on his family memorial in the Old High Church. He was the son of Dr William Kennedy, who was one of the founders of the Royal Northern Infirmary. His inscription on the memorial reads:
JAMES GRANT, ENSIGN ROYAL SCOTS, BORN 13 JUNE 1800. FELL GALLANTLY CARRYING THE COLOURS AT LE QUATER BRAS, WATERLOO 16 JUNE 1815.
All of Doctor Grant’s three sons died in military service; James was aged 15 when he was killed at Waterloo. The Memorial is on the West Stairwell in the church, and all are invited to come and view it after the service at the Old High. The colours are currently on display at the Royal Scots Museum at Edinburgh Castle until August, after which they will have to be stored in order to preserve them.
The Royal Scots leaflet on the colours is available here.
Here is the Scotsman reporting the exhibition of the colours this summer at Edinburgh Castle.
