Sing it louder, sing it stronger...

Calling all singers who would like to sing in The Salvation Army’s

AYR COMMUNITY GOSPEL CHOIR.


As the summer draws to a close the Ayr Community Gospel Choir is calling all singers from 14yrs upwards (no limit!) to begin rehearsals for our Christmas Concert. Under the guidance and care of Bobby Irvine and the Salvation Army Ayr we are a non-denominational choir and extend a warm invitation to all members of the community, of whatever faith (or none), who enjoy singing. So come along and be part of something really uplifting and inspiring.

Now in our fourth season, Castlehill Church has become our home for our Christmas Concert which this year will be held on Sunday 9th December (time to be confirmed).

On the road again!

While the renovations on our building take place we have to move to temporary accommodations for many of our activities.

Starting on Sunday 23rd September until the end of 2012, we will hold our Sunday Worship in the Castlehill Parish Church Hall at 1 Old Hillfoot Road, Ayr, KA7 3LW.


The church and hall is located on the corner of Old Hillfoot Road and Castlehill Road in Ayr.

And so it begins

Work has begun on the renovation of our Wallacetown base of operations!

We hope to provide updates on a regular basis, but here are some photographs courtesy of Mr. Alex Mackenzie who is a student architect assisting the developer. Click on the photographs to see more of Alex's work at his own website.
