Appeal by Highland Food Bank
We are one of several churches which give to the Highland Food Bank. Donations can be placed in the box at the back of the church.

Services
There will normally be a service of Holy Communion at 11 am. Bishop Rob takes 3 services a month. The 4th Sunday and, where applicable, the 5th Sunday (and during Bishop Robs holidays), services will be taken either by visiting clergy, or else by our own Eucharistic ministers with the reserved Sacrament.
For anyone who is unable to or prefers not to come to a physical church service, the SEC will continue to broadcast a live-streamed service every Sunday (see details below).
To get in touch with our priest or Vestry, please see our Contact page for details.
There are also ecumenical services which take place from October to April at 3pm on the second Sunday of the month in the Millennium Hall, Invermoriston . From May to September they take place outdoors at 3pm on the first Sunday of the month on the shores of Loch Ness at Old Farm, Invermoriston.
Unfortunately the Church at Corrimony has now closed. But the ecumenical services on the Third Sunday of the month will continue at 3pm, in Balnain Hall.
Please see the page Forthcoming Services for details of services in the month ahead.
Sermons
Rt Revd Rob’s sermons available on this website – so we get a chance to reflect on them again, or to read them if we were unable to come to church and missed them. They will usually be published during the week following the Sunday on which they were preached. This is the link to our Sermons page.
Online services
If you are ever unable to come to church, you can watch a service online. The Scottish Episcopal Church continues to live-stream a service every Sunday. All streamed services may be viewed on the SEC Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/scottishepiscopalchurch/ and on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/scottishepiscopal. The Sunday service will also be available to view during the following week on the SEC website at https://www.scotland.anglican.org.
Welcome to visitors
The Church is situated in a scenic location on the shore of Loch Meiklie in Glen Urquhart, one of the loveliest glens in the Highlands. It is on the A831, about five miles west of Drumnadrochit and seven miles east of Cannich.
Our beautiful little church was built in the 19th. century, but it has ramp access and a loop system, and there is an off-road car park. The door is always open for you to come in and view the Church, or spend a little time in quiet prayer and contemplation.
An extensive program of building restoration work was recently completed.
You can also enjoy a stroll in the Church grounds; there are benches and a picnic table on the paths by the loch. The grounds are also a prayer garden, with prayers and extracts of scripture to read.
We welcome visitors from all Christian denominations to share with us in all our services and in Holy Communion. We meet for coffee and a friendly chat in our coffee room following the 11.00am service every Sunday.
Saint Ninian’s is a charity registered with the Office of the Scottish Charities Regulator, no. 14759
