Advent Fair

Linlithgow and Avon Valley Church

We are delighted to be celebrating our union with Avonbridge Parish Church of Scotland, Torphichen Kirk and  St Ninian’s Craigmailen Church,  Linlithgow, becoming Linlithgow and Avon Valley Parish Church.

Worship will continue in all 4 church buildings and most of our activities will continue as normal.

Our new website will be available here shortly but meanwhile please continue to visit the individual websites/Facebook pages for up to date information.

Reverse Advent Calendar

The Reverse Advent Calendar is back - please check out the details on the West Lothian Foodbank website. 

 The full calendar is there and it would be great if some of the congregation could collect some of the items requested. You don't need to find everything! All the goods will be date checked and sorted before delivery to families so it would be ideal to have your donations by the end of November.We appreciate that not everyone can deliver their contributions to the warehouse. You can leave them in Cross House or contact Alison Murray (agmurray52@gmail.com) for alternative arrangements.

Meg Wallace Prints

Limited edition giclee prints of Meg Wallace’s beautiful Crown of Thorns artwork are now available - a fantastic memento of the church spire as restored to gleaming gold. Available for £100 framed or £50 unframed from the West End Gallery at The Cross (cash only) or at the church shop after each morning service (cash or card). Or contact the fundraising team on aspirelinlithgow@gmail.com for further information.
