Worship Updates

Both services on the 19th July will be accompanied by the organ only, as our Cathedral Choir will be singing in York Minster.

There will not be a united service on the 26th of July, due to an organ recital taking place in St Giles’ Cathedral by Simon Leach. All are invited to attend this recital, which begins at 6pm on the 26th of July.

SERVICE INFORMATION

Sunday Services

11.00 Morning Worship: St Giles’ Cathedral Choir, Organ, & Sermon

Midweek (Mon - Fri)

12:00 - 12:15 Midday Service

For visitors during the week who wish to take a few minutes in quiet reflection, our ministers hold a short service at 12:00 each day, with prayers and a reading from Scripture. Although the Cathedral remains open to tourists at these times, we ask for quiet for the duration of the service, and that visitors refrain from taking photographs of the act of worship.

St Giles’ & Canongate United Service

19:00 On the last Sunday of each month there is a joint evening service between St Giles’ and Canongate Kirk. The service is held at the Canongate Kirk, and includes music from a quartet of singers from the St Giles’ choir. There will not be a united service on the 26th of July.
