Stewardship Campaign

The Murrayfield Parish Church Stewardship Appeal is coming to a close. We hope that you have found the appeal thought-provoking and we encourage you to respond prayerfully. 

Although the Stewardship Appeal is coming to a close please don’t hesitate to get in touch with our ChurchTreasurer (Lindsay Foulis) at any time If you have any questions about church finances. 

We would like to thank everyone who currently makes a financial donation to Murrayfield Parish Church. Your contributions are invaluable.

How much should I give? 

You should only give what you can afford. The median donation is £50 a month but there is no minimum amount.

Some comparative costs that might help frame your thinking are -a coffee each working day is around £70 a month, annual membership at Edinburgh Leisure is £60 a month and annual subscription at Murrayfield Golf Club £103 a month.

The principle of giving away at least 10% of income and assets (tithing) is long established in Christian tradition. 

How to give? - 

The best way to donate regularly is to set up a bank standing order. Forms are available inside the Stewardship leaflets in church on Sunday mornings or you can complete the form on the Murrayfield Parish Church website. Forms are also available from the church office. 

If you already have a standing order you can increase the amount you currently give simply by changing the amount on your standing order through online banking. If you don’t bank online  you can email the church office and we’ll be happy to help.  

We are always doing our best to control expenditure but increased income would allow us to run a balanced budget and be more financially stable. There will be an information table in the church centre after the service on Sunday mornings.  If you would like to ask questions please do drop in for a coffee. We would love to have your interest in the appeal. Even an extra couple of pounds a month will make a difference to us.

You can read the full Stewardship leaflet by using the button below.

Week of prayer for Christian Unity 2025

There will be a joint Service at Saughtonhall UR Church on Sunday 19th January at 11 am.  Hope you can join in with this joint service which will mark the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity.

Our new Pastoral Assistant

Following conversations with Rev. Keith Graham and representative of the Kirk Session I have offered to serve as part-time Pastoral Assistant in Murrayfield Parish Church from January 2025. Over recent years I have been studying part-time for a Masters degree (MTh) at Glasgow University and with that commitment completed I was wondering what would come next – and I’m delighted now to be able to offer support to Keith and the Murrayfield congregation in church life and in witness in the community.

Over the years I have served parishes in Dumfries, in Kilmacolm, and in the Scottish Borders, and from 1991 to 2009 I was based in ‘121’ as Secretary of the former Board of National Mission and the former Mission and Discipleship Council. Now a widower, I live in the Fettes area and enjoy being Grandad to five boys and a girl. I’m no stranger to Murrayfield having taken pulpit supply in Church over the years … and being a volunteer at Edinburgh Zoo!

The main focus of my involvement will be supporting the congregation’s commitment to our senior members and to older members of the community, and I would hope to do this by visiting and by planning groups and outings. I’ll be worshipping at Murrayfield on Sunday mornings twice a month to build relationships in the congregation to support existing and new initiatives.

I’ve always enjoyed visits to Murrayfield Parish Church to undertake pulpit supply and look forward now to being more involved in the future.

Rev. Douglas A. O. Nicol
