COMMUNION TABLE APPEAL

PARISH NEWS

An Edinburgh City Centre church has launched an appeal to help pay for a special new Communion table.

Greyfriars Kirk has commissioned a table with 17 legs from its sister organisation, Grassmarket Community Project. Each of the 17 legs commemorates one of the former churches that is united in present day Greyfriars.

The table is circular in design and made from timber recycled from the pews of one of those former churches, Kirk o’Field.

The Rev Richard Frazer, minister of Greyfriars, said: “It is incredibly inspiring to have a table that embodies the spirit of Greyfriars. What makes it special is the fact that it is made by the team from the Grassmarket Community Project and has the symbolic meaning of its roots coming from Kirk o’Field Parish Church.”

The Kirk has launched an appeal inviting people to ‘purchase’ a leg of the table for £500, or for any donations. All will help to pay for the table and directly support the work of the Grassmarket Community Project.

To donate, contact accounts@greyfriarskirk.com or call 0131 225 1900
