| Welcome to our Web site! |
| St. Andrew's Scots Kirk is an international - interdenominational church located in Colombo, the capital of Sri Lanka. We welcome you to our Web site and hope you find this information useful. Moreover, we also like to invite you and welcome you to one of our services, activities or other church events, as presented at this site. |
| Our main service of worship takes place on Sunday mornings at 9.30am. This is open to all and will normally last for one hour. The style of worship is “informally traditional”. After the service, all are invited for coffee/tea at the Manse (the house behind the church building). |
| It is our hope and prayer that you will be blessed through our ministry, services, activities and web site. |
