COVID-19
The First Minister’s announcement of 19 March allows limited opening of our premises for COVID-compliant worship from 26 March. However, there will be no meetings on our church premises other than for worship until further notice.
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.

Holy Communion
Holy CommunionEaster Sunday
Rev Eddie Sykes
This is the first of our 2021 series of fortnightly Methodist services in the church, and will be a short (approx. 30 minutes) service of Holy Communion.
Due to current Covid restrictions the way the bread and cup will be served will be very different to the way we are used to. For example: the elements will be brought to you in your seats so there is the minimal amount of movement in the worship area. The process will be explained more fully in the service.
Please note that, as we work through the practicalities of worshipping together in a COVID-secure way, we’ll still be asking everyone who intends to attend worship to email either David Salthouse or Eddie Sykes by 6:00pm on the Saturday before (3 April).
The Lectionary readings for the day are
Acts 10.34–43 or Isaiah 25.6–9; Psalm 118.1–2,14–24; 1 Corinthians 15.1–11 or
Acts 10.34–43; John 20.1–18; Mark 16.1–8 -
