  • SERVICES FROM ABOYNE-DINNET CHURCH are streamed live here (we normally start streaming about 10 minutes before the start of the service) and can also be viewed at any time thereafter (see note below for archived recordings).  Recordings of the Aboyne-Dinnet Church Services are also available on audio CD or video DVD.  If you know of anyone who does not have access to the internet but would like to listen to or watch the service weekly, please let one of the Elders know.  The audio CD plays in any audio CD player and the video DVD will play in a DVD player attached to a TV.

  • YOUNG PEOPLE AT ABOYNE-DINNET CHURCH - Children and babies are welcome at all Sunday Services in Aboyne-Dinnet Church.  There is a "children's corner" in the Church where there are books and activities for them.  During school term times they often start off the service with their families in the Church but then proceed to the adjacent Church Hall for activities - known as "Sunday Kids".  There are also opportunities for teenage aged young people to be part of the service e.g. reading the lesson, to be part of the music team or helping with the audio visual presentations.
