Our new audio visual system was installed during the week, along with new cinema style seating across both the nave and gallery.

The Church of Scotland CARTA group had previously authorised the installation of two small screens and projectors, but as a church we are constantly striving to embrace and advance technology in our worship so a small upgrade to the original plan was made.

Funding was made partially from congregational giving, but the remainder was made through advertising – a few examples are below. If you’d like to take out advertising with us please get in touch.

We will also use the system to show our minister on the big screen, and to show hymn words, images to support Kevin’s sermons and up-close views of baptisms etc.

The church are grateful to CARTA chairman Rev. Payolas Florid for his help in executing this work.

Come along today, Easter Sunday, to see it for yourself.
