Click on the calendar entry for extra details, if these are available.
Unless otherwise noted, all the events shown will be held at Rosyth Methodist Church. You can get directions at this link.
This calendar is mostly for our regular worship and church-focused meetings, plus special meetings of other groups. However, as explained at this link, our building is in use throughout the week by other groups, and their regular meetings have not been listed here, to make the calendar less cluttered.
For Holy Week 2018, we’ve produced a downloadable poster listing what’s on at our church and the Parish Church in addition to the normal services.

Work Day at RMCWe have occasional work days in the church. The next is scheduled for today starting at 9.00am and finishing late afternoon – more or less when the jobs are done!
Volunteers are always needed, so if you would like to help out, perhaps with a particular skill set, please talk to Martin Rogers. Painting is always a favourite, though we do other work such as tidying up the grounds, washing down window frames, pruning shrubs, putting up noticeboards, etc etc. You don’t have to come all day, or even start at 9.00am, but we would love to have a few more volunteers!
