Services
There will normally be a service of Holy Communion at 11 am each Sunday.
We are delighted that The Reverend Sarah Murray is our interim priest for 6 months, now that Bishop Rob has retired. Reverend Sarah will take a service each month at St Ninians and will be guiding us whilst we put in place a permanent replacement for Bishop Rob. The services that are not taken by Reverend Sarah will be taken by visiting Clergy or by our own Eucharistic ministers with the reserved Sacrament.
Please note: There will no longer be a Thursday Service
For anyone who is unable to or prefers not to come to a physical church service, the SEC will continue to broadcast a live-streamed service every Sunday (see details below).
To get in touch with our Vestry, please see our Contact page for details.
There are also ecumenical services which take place from October to April at 3pm on the second Sunday of the month in the Millennium Hall, Invermoriston . From May to September they take place outdoors at 3pm on the first Sunday of the month on the shores of Loch Ness at Old Farm, Invermoriston
Sermons
Rt Revd Rob’s sermons available on this website – so we get a chance to reflect on them again, or to read them if we missed them. This is the link to our Sermons page.
Online services
If you are ever unable to come to church, you can watch a service online. The Scottish Episcopal Church continues to live-stream a service every Sunday. All streamed services may be viewed on the SEC Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/scottishepiscopalchurch/ and on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/scottishepiscopal.

Welcome to visitors
The Church is situated in a scenic location on the shore of Loch Meiklie in Glen Urquhart, one of the loveliest glens in the Highlands. It is on the A831, about five miles west of Drumnadrochit and seven miles east of Cannich.
Our beautiful little church was built in the 19th. century, but it has ramp access and a loop system, and there is an off-road car park. The door is always open for you to come in and view the Church, or spend a little time in quiet prayer and contemplation.
An extensive program of building restoration work was completed 2 years ago.
You can also enjoy a stroll in the Church grounds; there are benches and a picnic table on the paths by the loch. The grounds are also a prayer garden, with prayers and extracts of scripture to read.
We welcome visitors from all Christian denominations to share with us in all our services and in Holy Communion. We meet for coffee and a friendly chat in our coffee room following the 11.00am service every Sunday.
Saint Ninian’s is a charity registered with the Office of the Scottish Charities Regulator, no. 14759
