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.
