Clova Kirk Annual 'Service of the Lambs'

A 'Service of the Lambs' is to be held at Clova Kirk to celebrate another successful lambing season in Glen Clova. 

The service will take place this Sunday (27th May 07) at 2.30pm, and will be led by Rev. Linda Stevens of the Glens and Kirriemuir Old Parish Church.  Everyone is welcome!

Clova Kirk now no longer operates as a church, but remains under the pastoral charge of The Glens and Kirriemuir Old Parish Church, Kirriemuir.  The temporal administration of Clova Kirk has become the responsibility of the Clova Kirk Trust. 

Clova Kirk has an interesting history with the minister at one time alternating between Glen Prosen and Glen Clova, using the Ministers Path to travel between the two on his pony or with his pony and cart.

Also documented in Church records is the fact that on one Sunday in 1662 there was no sermon at Cortachy as the minister was at Clova at the execution (by burning) of a witch. There are many such stories in the glen.
 

Although regular services no longer take place, the Kirk is available for special events and ceremonies, weddings, christenings etc. Thus Clova Kirk still retains its place at the physical and spiritual heart of the community.

Clova Kirk Trust also has its own website.  www.clovakirk.ik.com
