Guild
The Church of Scotland guild is a movement within the Church of Scotland
which invites and encourages both women and men to commit their lives to
Jesus Christ and enables them to express their faith in worship prayer
and action.
Women and men of all walks of life meet together under our common aim.
The aim has been underlined in our motto which is taken from acts 27
verses 23 "whose we are and whom we serve.
Various congregational groups meet together in councils, each of which
sends a representative to serve at national level in one of the six
committees.
Each committee has it's own remit and once a year they meet together
in joint conference. Separate day conferences are also held for council
conveners for council project co-ordinators and for council educational
representatives, such events help those at local level to feel part of a
larger national movement. Every guild branch gets two tickets for annual
assembly held in various parts of Scotland.
All six of the current projects supported by guild members relate to the
theme for the fundraising strategy which is dare to care. Money raised
for the 1997 project tied into the strategy of riches and poverty totalled
more than £560,000.
December 2002 saw guild donations top 1 million. Members across the
country had contributed to this amazing total. So the guild is not just
a handful of people gathering in a small church once a month.
