TROON churches will stage several Easter worship events.

In the week leading up to Easter in Troon, every day, at 7.30 pm there will be an ecumenical service of worship. This year these services are being held here in Troon Old Parish Church, led by the Rev Dave Prentice-Hyers.

Throughout the course of the week, preaching will be shared by clergy and leaders from the various Troon churches.

On Maundy Thursday (April 13), the evening service will include the sacrament of Holy Communion. There will be an additional “bus timetable friendly” afternoon communion at 2.30pm in Troon Old Parish Church.

On Good Friday, April 14, as well as the evening service, there is a late morning service at 11am, after which members of the Church of the Nazarene will lead a short procession taking the Cross to Troon Cross.

Then on Easter Saturday, April 15, there will be an Easter Vigil at Our Lady of the Assumption and St Meddan Church, at 8.30pm.

The joint Easter Sunday Dawn Communion service is held on Troon Beach (near the War Memorial) at 6.30 am. People should wrap up warmly to enjoy this uplifting open air service of worship. Breakfast – in the form of very tasty hot filled rolls – will follow in St Medddan’s Parish Church.

All other church services follow at normal times.
