Boiler Room Prayer

Boiler Room Prayer

  • Pitlochry Baptist Church (zoom) (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Prayer is an essential part of our lives as individuals and as a church. It’s the place where we experience and express intimacy with God. It is also the place from which we derive power for life and ministry. 19th century preacher Charles Spurgeon referred to the prayer gatherings of his church as the "boiler room." He believed that prayer was the spiritual power behind the effectiveness of ministry. At Pitlochry Baptist Church, we long to see God come in power. Prayer is vital to the life of our church family and community, and we invite you to join us at Boiler Room Prayer any Wednesday from 7am on zoom. Get In Touch with us for the Zoom link.

Etape Sunday Worship Gathering

Etape Sunday Worship Gathering

The Etape Road Race is a cycling event that has attracted many thousands of participants to Pitlochry since its inception in 2007. This closed road race starts in Pitlochry, winds its way around Highland Perthshire, before finishing back in Pitlochry right outside our church building on Atholl Road.

During the event, the road outside our building is blocked off to motorists. Gathering for worship at our usual time is therefore not possible. So, we’ll be cheering all the riders over the finish line, and then meeting together at 6pm for our Worship Gathering.

Please Note: During the Etape Road Race the road outside the church building is closed to vehicles. Pitlochry’s main car park on Atholl Road is also commandeered for this event.

Easter Egg Hunt

Families with small children in Pitlochry! Why not join us at the Delta Road Play Park (the one next to the vets surgery) for a whopping great big Easter egg hunt from 3pm onwards? There will be other games and fun stuff taking place like making great big humungous bubbles and the messy tossing the egg competition. This is one of the fun ways that we’re enjoying Easter at PBC - as Christians we’re celebrating the moment in history where Jesus rose from the dead, just as he said he would, remembering the stone that was rolled away from the entrance to his grave tomb.

Remember, when you come along to the hunt bring a bag or bucket for collecting the Easter eggs!

Walk of Witness

Today, when the cross and all it stands for is seen as no longer relevant in the lives of many, there is an urgent need for a powerful ongoing and public statement of faith. On Good Friday, there is a Walk of Witness to the Cross and the saving power of Jesus Christ. Beginning at Pitlochry’s Church of Scotland, the Walk of Witness silently makes its way around Pitlochry, stopping at certain landmarks now and then to listen to the account of Jesus’ final hours before he was crucified, before ending back at the Church of Scotland building for a short reflection and moments of prayer. Feel free to join us outside the Church of Scotland building at 8am, or anywhere along the road.
