News & Events 2025

World Day of Prayer 2025 On 7th March over 70 people gathered in St Peters Kirkcaldy for a service written by the Christian Women of the Cook Islands. The theme was taken from Psalm 139 and entitled “I Made You Wonderful”. The service was led by members of local congregations from the town, all wearing lei, the traditional flower garland given to all visitors to the Cook Islands. The congregation were given paper flowers with their service booklets. The service consisted of prayers, reflections and stories from three women from the Cook Islands. The music, interspersed throughout the service, was a mix of hymns written by the Cook Island women and traditional hymns. The World Day of Prayer Hymn “The Day Thou Gavest Lord is Ended” was sung at the conclusion and it was wonderful to have the church filled with the glorious sound of voices raised in song. The 2026 service, written by the women of Nigeria, will be held in Kirkcaldy Congregational Church on 6th March, and a lighted candle was presented from the Rector of St Peter’s as 2025 hosts to the Revd Lynn Robertson, Minister, as a symbol of passing the baton to the next host church. After the service the congregation continued fellowship in the hall with refreshments provided and served by St Peters. It was lovely to hear the happy chatter as people enjoyed tea/coffee and cake. My sincere thanks to all from St Peter’s who made the 2025 service possible. Christine Fraser, Rector
