The time of Lent - 2010
Morningside United Church is a community church in the Morningside neighbourhood of Edinburgh, Scotland. We are a thriving congregation of people interested in participating in a diverse religious community in Edinburgh. Membership includes long-term residents and recent immigrants, families and singles, students, working and retired membership.
Morningside United is in the Reformed tradition. It is in membership of the United Reformed Church and the Church of Scotland and has close ecumenical associations with partner churches in our community.
We believe in an open congregation - we invite all who want to ask questions about the faith, or simply to belong to a family of loving Christian people to "come in and sit down". Inclusiveness is, we hope, for us not simply a word or a concept but just what we practise.
Please come to share worship with usEVERY SUNDAY at 11.00 am

 To mark the bi-Centenaries of Schumann and Chopin, the Edinburgh Chamber Orchestra - augmented to the number of 46 and turning into a symphonic orchestra - played a concert of their music. An appreciative audience enjoyed the Symphony No 3 in E flat (The Rhenish) by Schumann. Then we heard Chopin's Polonaise in A major (Op 40), before being enthralled by the magnificent playing of guest soloist Sylvia Jen in the Piano Concerto No 1 in E minor. (Op 11)
The concert was directed and conducted by Dr Alberto Massimo. Sylvia Jen was born in Taiwan and brought up in South Africa. She is the holder of many prizes and awards. She recently was awarded first prize at the Bamber/Galloway Piano Competition.

Time for Peace is a new venture dreamed up by ten MUC members who want to explore different ways of spirituality. On a Wednesday evening, initially through Lent, the Church is open from 5.30 till 7.00 pm. Come in and you will experience music, stillness, pictures, poetry, an opportunity to pray, meditate - whatever you like. And the important thing is, you can do as much or as little as you like, and you can come and go as you please.
Would you like more information? You could speak to Jenny Williams or John Smith or e-mail
