Parish Profile Rothesay : Trinity Church of Scotland Parish Profile Introduction This scenic island parish, with quick and easy links to the mainland, is seeking a Minister with leadership and pastoral skills. Our vision for the future is of a Church of Scotland congregation continuing in the centre of the historic Royal Burgh of Rothesay which ministers to the spiritual and social needs of both those within the church walls and those without. To achieve this we will continue to work with and for all age groups in the community, changing, adapting and expanding as the need arises, led by an enthusiastic minster who is interested in and cares for all God’s people in the Parish. The Charge Rothesay : Trinity is a charge without restriction. It is in a Parish Grouping with the United Church of Bute, our sister Church of Scotland charge on the Island. Consequently, the Parish boundary for both charges is the whole Island. The congregation was founded at the Disruption in 1842 and is now the result of several unions going back to 1929 when the congregation joined in the union of the United Free Church of Scotland with the Church of Scotland and the name Trinity came into being. Several other unions have take place namely:- 1938 with St James Church 1942 with Craigmore High Church 1979 with the West Church The present congregational roll is 330. Worship Throughout the year Sunday Morning Worship is held at 11 am, with an Evening Service on the first Sunday of each month at 6.30 pm. There is also a 30 minute service on Thursday mornings at 11.15 am, which is held in our Small Hall. Communion Services are held on the first Sunday and Thursday in February, June and November. Informal celebrations of Communion are held at Christmas, Easter, Whitsun and in August. Tea / coffee is served after the Sunday Morning Services. Members regularly read the lessons and lead us in prayer. The Worship Group, Guild, Sunday School and Summer Sunday Workshop have occasionally conducted part of the Service. The Boys’ Brigade and Girls’ Brigade have organised Youth Carol Services in the past, with other uniformed organisations also taking part. The Sunday Schools meet in the Church for the first part of the Service before going to the hall for their classes. A team of drivers bring members who need transport to Church on Sunday mornings, using the Community Links minibus. Pulpit supply is available and paid for by the Congregation. Parish duties, such as funerals, are usually undertaken by the Minister of our sister congregation during holiday leave and vice versa. Music Worship is greatly enhanced by the music of both organ and mixed voice choir. The organ is an Allen Digital Computer Organ of 43 stops, dedicated in 1988. The choir has 12 members and is augmented by others on occasion. Choral contributions to worship are prepared for services such as Communion, Christmas, Easter, Harvest etc. The Fourth Edition of the Church Hymnary has been in use since 2010. Occasional use is made of ‘Mission Praise’. Publications A ‘Pew Leaflet’ is printed weekly and the Morning Services are recorded for distribution to the homes for the elderly and the housebound. The ‘Congregational Record’ magazine is produced three times a year in line with Communion Services. Ecumenical Services The Island clergy meet together from time to time as the ‘Ministers’ Fraternal’. There are regular joint Ecumenical Services throughout the year and during Holy Week. Communion Services are held in the Sheltered Housing complexes as requested and monthly Services are held in Ferfadd Court, which are shared, on a rota basis, with the United Church of Bute, the Baptist, Roman Catholic and Episcopal Churches and Rothesay Christian Fellowship. School chaplaincies are shared. The Island Churches also jointly run ‘Messy Church’ once a month, and have taken part in a Scripture Union week long Holiday Club for the past four summers. Congregational Life Children are involved in Crêche, Primary and Senior Sunday Schools. The Summer Sunday Workshop takes over from these during July and August. The 1st Rothesay Boys’ Brigade and the 1st Rothesay Girls’ Brigade are affiliated to Trinity and meet in our halls, both of which are very well attended. Other organisation include the Guild, Visiting Committee, Walking Group, Gardening Club, Ladies Bowling Club and Badminton Club. Trinity hosts the Luncheon Club, for Senior Citizens twice weekly. The halls are well used by other community groups for meetings and fundraising. Administration The Parish and Congregational affairs of Trinity are administered under the Model Deed of Constitution. The Kirk Session has 34 members and meets on a regular basis. Since 2001 the temporal affairs of Trinity have been looked after by the Congregational Board. It consists of 18 Elders, 2 Deacons and 10 elected members and meets as required on the first Thursday of the month. It operates committees for Finance, Fabric, Halls, Ways & Means and AV/IT. Finance A simplified Statement of Accounts and / or an OSCR compliant form of Accounts for 2015 can be obtained on request. Our funds are healthy, thanks to increased giving by our members, fundraising, mainly organised by our active Ways & Means Committee, and the good stewardship of our Treasurer. Over the last few years we have raised funds to re-roof the Church, repair the stained glass windows and, this year, to rewire the Church and halls.

Argyll covers the southwestern islands and western peninsulas of Scotland. While Ayrshire boundaries are well marked, Argyll is a bit more amorphous, encompassing a region that historically stretches into the Highlands. One of Ayrshire’s primary attractions is “Burns Country,” because the area was the poet Robert Burns’s birthplace as well as his predominant stomping grounds for most of his life. But Ayrshire also offers golfers some of the best links courses in the world. If you take the train from Glasgow to Ayr, the main town of Ayrshire, you can see one course after another in the sandy dunes along the shoreline. Argyll, which means the “coast of the Gaels,” encompasses islands such as Bute and Arran as well as the more remote Kintyre Peninsula. Kintyre is so sufficiently isolated that ex-Beatle Paul McCartney has long owned a ranch there where he and his family can retreat from prying eyes. It takes the better part of the day just to reach Kintyre, however, so I don’t dwellCOPYRIGHTED on its charms for too long in this MATERIAL chapter.

At the same time SURF (Scotland’s Regeneration Network), supported by Argyll and Bute Council and Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE), began a process of connecting local community and regional/national partners, as part of SURF’s wider ‘Alliance for Action’ initiative. Initially developed through a HIE funded feasibility study in 2014, the SURF project drew together a Rothesay and Bute focused stakeholders group, which began to prioritise and address some of the issues highlighted in the community meeting. Since this time the number and range of businesses, organisations, charities and individuals involved has steadily grown and with it the conviction that a better Bute is possible.

SURF – Scotland’s Regeneration Network SURF has been commissioned by Highlands & Islands Enterprise to carry out a feasibility study into establishing if there is sufficient cross sector interest in Dunoon for pursuing an Alliance for Action approach there, based on the existing SURF model and activity in Govan, East Kirkcaldy and Rothesay. The SURF led Alliance for Action is a collaborative activity and shared learning programme that SURF is coordinating in the three case study areas of Govan, Glasgow , East Kirkcaldy, Fife and Rothesay on Bute. In all of these communities, which have differing contexts but similar challenges, SURF is working with relevant local and national partners to: Build local capacity, strengthen resilience, increase practical outcomes and improve the wellbeing of local residents; Link local knowledge, initiatives and assets with national networks, policies and resources in support of more coordinated and holistic regeneration activity; Draw out transferable learning towards more successful and sustainable policy and practice in community regeneration. The SURF approach goes beyond conventional short term development solutions to seek out and devleop medium and longer term sustainable ones which succesflly engage the assets of the people, place and cross sector partners.
