Live Jazz at Greenbank
Please come along and fill the pews, tap your feet, dance in the aisles (maybe?) We are hosting the wonderful Heart and Soul Swing Band, a large group of talented amateur musicians who will be performing a repertoire of well known tunes. They have been the “house band” of Christian Aid Scotland for more than 10 years, raising over £40,000 in that time.
The concert starts at 7pm and will last for around 90 minutes, following which there will be tea and coffee in the main hall. Entry is free and non-ticketed, but we will be having a collection for Christian Aid Scotland at the end of the evening. Bring a friend, don’t miss it!! -
2025 Autumn Lecture Series
Each Autumn, Greenbank and Morningside Parish Churches organise a themed lecture series, and this year Fairmilehead Church is also taking part. Our theme for 2025 is ‘Ecology Matters’, with three lectures taking place. Topics include ‘The Climate and the Need for Action’, ‘The Unstoppable Power of Hope’ and ‘Evolution’s Lessons for a Changing Plant’. Full details can be found on Autumn Lecture Series page here.
The 2025 lectures will be held at Morningside Parish Church at 7pm, preceded by refreshments at 6:30pm. The lectures will last approximately one hour, including time for questions. The lectures will be livestreamed with recordings available thereafter, via the Morningside Parish Church website.

Young Church Outing
Seven children, their Mums and Dads, and Young Church leaders set off to Newhailes after we listened to the Good Samaritan story on Sunday 22nd June.
They arrived in lovely sunshine and made their way to Weehailes play park. The children all took off to the climbing areas while everyone else put down picnic stuff and bought coffees.
Despite the heavy rain which came on as they were finishing lunch, everyone had a great time, enjoyed an ice cream and asked if they could do it again next year. -
Christian Aid Week Fundraising
Many thanks to everyone who contributed to the success of our fundraising for Christian Aid Week 2025. Thank you to all who donated, delivered envelopes, cycled (Ian and Jennifer), baked and sold cakes (Young Church), grew plants (John), or bought plants and cakes.
We raised the amazing sum of £6,790, including Gift Aid.
Christian Aid fundraising this year will support the farmers of indigenous communities in Guatemala, to build resilience to extreme weather and regain control of their harvests, thus protecting their families and communities from hunger and poverty.
