Scots International
  Church Rotterdam

This Sunday May 24th we will hold our second live video Service broadcast!

The service will be led by the Worship Team, with guest preacher Rev. Derek Lawson. You are all welcome to join us this Sunday. The live stream for this Sundays video Service will be available via the Kerkdienst Gemist website.

World Day of Prayer takes place internationally on the first Friday of March every year.  In 2020 that will be March 6th  If you can’t celebrate World Day of Prayer on the first Friday in March, choose another date that works for your community and you can celebrate in symbolic solidarity with women around the world!

The WDP 2020 program is based on Jesus’ encounter with a person who, although positioned for healing, had not acted upon the opportunities given (John 5:2-9a). Jesus asked –“Do you want to be made well?”with the theme “Rise!  Take Your Mat and Walk”.  You are faced with this life-changing question. What are you going to do? Use this opportunity to reflect with your WDP group, community and ecumenical partners. Prayer and action are what link us together around the globe.

It is 94 years ago that the Scots Church Rotterdam started this tradition. It involves ministers, priests or pastors from various international and migrant churches coming together for a service for peace. 

Given that justice and peace are integral components of our Christian faith, it falls to each and every one of us to play our part in pursuing them, both in our lives and in our worship. We would encourage all who can to come along to this service on the 10th of November.

Speaker will be Rev. Derek Lawson. The Choir of the Holland Methodist
will sing.

Sunday 28th September we give our thanks for God’s bounty.
The Joyful Singers will lead the auction downstairs after the Service.
