Origin Scotland

Symphonic Praise this year will be on 27 September at the historic and stunningly beautiful St Michael's Parish Church in Linlithgow. If you don't have an evening service to attend on that date, we encourage you to join us for a wonderful evening of worship.

Tickets can be booked at www.originminnistry.org/bookings

Global Missions Project's Metro Big Band are coming back to Scotland this summer but they are not just staying in Edinburgh this time! They are bringing their classic big band jazz standards and big band arrangements of Christian songs and hymns to Glasgow, Fort William, Inverness, Portree, Stornoway and Ness.

If you or anyone you know is in the area be sure to catch them, no tickets required

We are so excited that Symphonic Praise has a new home this year!

If you have never been in St Michael's - Linlithgow and Avon Valley Church of Scotland this is your opportunity.

The Church has a long and fascinating history dating back as far as 1138 and was a favoured place of worship for Scottish Monarchs, most notably Mary Queen of Scots who was baptised there.

On Sunday 27th September we will gather there, as the Church in central Scotland to fill this beautiful church with the sounds of worship.

Come and see the lovely church and the awe inspiring stained glass windows but more importantly join with us in worship of our Lord and Saviour

Tickets are now available on: www.originministry.org/bookings

Thanks to all the awesome volunteers that helped! We have moved all our gear out of property we were using before the deadline. We have a reduced price for the temporary store for three months, so a short window to breathe. We need to find a more permanent home ideally in West Edinburgh but we’re not in a choosers place! Please feel free to send suggestions!

The move is underway! Huge thanks to Gillespie Church for providing a home for the sheet music store. The majority of the gear is going to temporary storage for now. Hoping we’ll find somewhere more long term soon.

We have GOOD NEWS!! A number (25!) of VISIONARY people have joined us as ministry partners - meaning that we can now confirm that SYMPHONIC PRAISE will go ahead on Sun 27 September at St Michael's Linlithgow! Hallelujah! We're at 42% of target, so we can't yet confirm that the Christmas events are going ahead, so if you're thinking of joining us for £10, £20 or even £50 per month and help us reach our sustainability goal. Giving info in graphic below.

For those who wish to know, Martyn Turnbull's funeral will be on Tuesday 2nd June, 2.00pm at Mortonhall Crematorium, Edinburgh.

Bright colours or band uniform encouraged.

If anyone wishes to play at Martyn's funeral, please contact Sarah at [email protected] (We may have to restrict numbers).

Family flowers only.

Last night with the Origin Big Band 🎺✨

A room full of people, live music filling the space, stories being shared, and moments that reminded us why nights like this matter.

Thank you to everyone who came along, supported, listened, sang, smiled, clapped, and made the evening what it was.

From the band, vocalists, musicians, and everyone behind the scenes — thank you for being part of it.

We’re already looking forward to the next one. 🤍

We’re so glad to have Scott Rennie joining us as one of our soloists at the Origin Big Band.

Scott became a Christian in December 2000, after a journey from a staunch atheist upbringing to encountering the reality of God in a deeply personal way.

Since joining Origin in 2011, he has been a lead singer with the Foot Stomping Gospel Band and part of the PRODIGAL production since 2016.

Join us for an evening of classic big band jazz and soul-stirring songs of faith.
