Crathie Kirk - 5

Here we see the outside the east end (sanctuary) of the Kirk.



Many people are amazed to learn that it is possible to attend Divine Service without a ticket or invitation on those occasions when The Queen is present.

However, members of the congregation are expected to behave in an appropriate manner. Apparently not that long ago a lady climbed on to her pew and almost attacked the poor lady in front in an attempt to get a view of Her Majesty. She had to be put in her place by one of the elders!

Be still for the presence of the Lord,
The Holy One is here;
Come bow before Him now
With reverence and fear.
In Him no sin is found,
We stand on holy ground;
Be still, for the presence of the Lord,
The Holy One is here.

Be still, for the glory of the Lord
Is shining all around;
He burns with holy fire,
With splendour He is crowned.
How awesome is the sight,
Our radiant King of light!
Be still, for the glory of the Lord
Is shining all around.

Be still, for the power of the Lord
Is moving in this place;
He comes to cleanse and heal,
To minister His grace.
No work too hard for Him,
In faith receive from Him;
Be still, for the power of the Lord
Is moving in this place.
