THE LITURGY -
THE WORK OF GOD
The word liturgy comes from a Greek term meaning “public work or work done on behalf of the people.” Liturgy always referred to an organized community. A work, then, done by an individual or a group was a liturgy on behalf of the larger community. All the worshipers are expected to participate actively in each liturgy, for this is holy “work,” not entertainment or a spectator event. Every liturgical celebration is an action of Christ the High Priest and of his Mystical Body, which is the Church. It therefore requires the participation of the People of God in the work of God.
​
Each day we meet we pray for each other, ourselves, and for you. This is at the heart of what we do in this place. We hold people God, all the people of the Black Isle, churchgoers, or not. It is our prayer that you are able to experience the radical love of God, that you may come into his presence, finding an oasis of peace as we strive to be at the heart of the Black Isle and in the heart of God

THE DAILY OFFICE
"Nothing is to be preferred to the Work of God"
Saint Benedict
It is an important part of the tradition and spiritual life of the Scottish Episcopal Church that prayer is offered throughout the day. Set times of prayer, called the Office, are set aside for this purpose. Clergy are obliged, by reason of the vows they make, to pray at least the Offices of Morning and Evening Prayer and should also offer Compline (Night Prayer). Others are invited to join this round of devotion and praise, to strengthen their own spiritual life with God.
The Offices may be prayed either alone or in Church with others.
