Recruitment and A ointment of Trustees Members of the Kirk Session are the Charity Trustees chosen from members of the Church who are considered to have the appropriate gifts and skills. The Minister is a member of the Kirk Session, elected by the Congregation and inducted by Presbytery. Or anisational Structure The Kirk Session meets on a regular basis and is responsible for the spiritual and temporal affairs of the Church. Safe uardin The Church's organisation is compliant with the Safeguarding provisions. Ob"ective5 and Activities The Church of Scotland is Trinitarian in doctrine, Reformed in tradition and Presbyterian in polity. It exists to glorify God and to work for the advancement of Christ's Kingdom throughout the world. As a national Church, it acknowledges a distinctive call and duty to bring ordinances of religion to the people in every parish of Scotland through a territorial ministry. It co-operates with other Churches in various ecumenical bodies in Scotland and beyond. Cockpen & Carrington Parish Church seeks to be a welcoming church and a place to believe, belong, grow and serve. Services of Worshi Seniices take place on Sundays at 11.30am and on the first Sunday of February, May and November there are Services for the Sacrament of Holy Communion. Services are recorded and made available online through the Cockpen & Carrington Parish Church YouTube channel. Elizabeth Morton, the Lay Pastor, assists in leading worship most Sundays and offering support in pastoral care to members. She also assists during the week with a number of regular church events. The Worship Team comprises the Lay Pastor, the Session Clerk of Cockpen & Carrington alongside the Session Clerk of Lasswade & Rosewell, an adjacent parish, also in the charge of the Minister. They conduct worship when the Minister is on holiday and when she is unavailable, due to duties in other churches across the Presbytery of Lothian and Borders. The Worship Team plays a significant part in supporting the Minister, conducting worship and in assisting in the life of the congregation. On the third Sunday of each month there is an All-Age Service, where families are invited to join in worship along with the church family. Where there is a fifth Sunday in the month, we join with Lasswade & Rosewell Parish Church and Bonnyrigg Parish Church for a combined service, rotating around the churches. During Holy Week we take part in a number of inter-denominational services with the local Roman Catholic and Episcopalian Churches. The church is used throughout the year for Weddings, Funerals and Baptlsms and for those unable to attend church, 'Home Services, for the Sacrament of Holy Communion are available. Monthly services are held at the local Springfield Bank Care Home. The Choir The four-part choir, under the direction of the organist and choirmaster, leads the congregation in the hymn singing at weekly services. In addition, the organist and choirmaster chooses appropriate anthems for the choir to sing at Communion, Easter, Christmas and other significant services. The Pra er Grou A group of members from Cockpen & Carrington, Lasswade & Rosewell, plus the Minister and Lay Pastor meet weekly during school term times to pray for matters of local, national and international concern, followed by fellowship over refreshments. The Guild The Guild meets on alternate Mondays from October to May with speakers giving talks on a wide variety of subjects along with general social events when invitations are extended to the wider congregation and friends. The 'Hol Hikers, This walking group, known as the 'Holy Hikers,, meets on a regular basis for walks of scenic and historic interest, catering for people of all ages and abilities and is open to the wider community. 'Knit and Natter, The Knit and Natter group meets on Thursday afternoons in the Church Hall providing an opportunity for members and non-members to come along to knit, crochet, natter and socialise over tea and coffee. Church Ma azine- rhe Link, The church magazine is published at Easter, Harvest, and Christmas and is distributed to all members of the linked congregations and other interested grou ps including local h istory societies and libraries. The magazi ne includes articles from each of the church's groups along with related current news and events and a dedicated section for children. Copies of The Link, magazine can be found on the congregation's websitewww.church.cock en.co.uk. Achievements and Performance 2025 Our good news stories for 2025, continue to focus on the projects being run by our Community Youth Worker, Josh Keay- Toastie Tuesday and the follow-on Drop-ln Café on a Thursday evening at Cockpen Church Hall in Bonnyrigg. Toastie Tuesday has continued to have large numbers of young people attending for lunch, with around 300 to 350 regularly attending from Lasswade High School. It has been wonderful to see the projett continue steadily and through it many good conversations take place with the youngsters each week. We continue to seek to offer the warmest welcome of the week and prayerfully to share JesUS's love with those who are interested. The faithful, alternating team of about eight volunteers who help to make and serve the toasties each week, as well as a drink and a snack all for £1, continue to serve from our different churches in the community- Our Lady, Cockpen & Carrington, Lasswade & Rosewell and Bonnyrigg Church. For those youngsters who would like to attend, Josh has also been running the Drop-ln Café on Thursday evenings from 8-9.30 pm, giving an opportunity to build relationships and to explore faith further. There have been around 12-15 young people from the High School attending through the year rising to about 20 young people by the end of the year. On the back of Toastie Tuesday and Drop-ln Cafe, it was super to have about 16 young people accept invitations to Stage 'N' Slam summer camps at either Liberton or Gorebridge during the summer holidays and for eight of those to make a commitment to follow Jesus at the end. At the start of November, Bonnyrigg Parish, Lasswade & Rosewell and Cockpen & Carrington Church shared in employing Jenny Fepuleai as a new part-time Children & Family Worker and it is great to have Jenny come on board to help in connecting with families linked to our churches. The Growing Young team have continued to meet up every three month5 or so and to review our engagement with young people. Although we have no children or young people generally attending church on a Sunday morning, it is encouraging to share the vision for growing young in and through our shared ministry with Lasswade & Rosewell Church and Bonnyiigg Church and in seeing the developing connections with young people through Toastie Tuesday, the Drop-ln Cafe and the Youth Fellowship at Bonnyrigg Church. When the three churches gather on a fifth Sunday of the month for a joint service, the young people linked with the churches are present and share in taking part and thi5 has been a great encouragement to all who attend. The three churches together have continued to develop 'The Harbour, project and it was formally launched in June. It seeks to offer safe spaces for people to discover Jesus and his love for them. Toastie Tuesday, Drop-ln Café and Messy Church are already part of this vision and we look forward to seeing these and other ventures flourish and be fruitful in encouraging local people to discover how much they are known and loved by God. Contact with Bonnyrigg Primary School continued through the year. There was an opportunity again to run two Transition sessions for the P7 classes in the Summer term. The running of a lunchtime Bible Bees group began again during the autumn term and 12-14 children from P4-P7 enjoyed attending for Bible Stories, games and crafts. In our other activities, The Guild continues to be well attended for the afternoon fortnightly meetings at the church hall. The Guild afternoon tea and Carol Party, were once again a great succe55 in bringing the wider congregation together. Knit and Natter also continues to go well with around thirty ladies gathering each week on a Thursday afternoon in the hall from 1.30 to 3.30 pm. Different knitting projects continue to provide beneficial items in the local community, such as blankets for local Care Home residents. In fund raising, the Tea and Toast Coffee Mornings at the church hall with a variety of stalls were again very popular with the church family and members of the wider community. This year again we have supported the Midlothian Foodbank at Gorebridge through our Harvest Service in September and the ongoing provision of non-perishable food items and toiletries across the year. We were delighted as well again to support the Christian Aid Appeal, Poppy Scotland, Blyth5wood Care in their Shoebox Appeal and The Salvation Army in their Toy Appeal at Christmas. Services continue to be held at 11:30 am on Sunday mornings at the church, with recordings of services being made available online each Sunday. The Worship Team made up of Liz Mills, Session Clerk at Cockpen & Carrington, Dorothy Spence, Session Clerk at Lasswade & Rosewell, and Elizabeth Morton as our Lay Pastor, are immensely capable and helpful in covering services when the minister is away. The Minister March 2026.

It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeks explanations from the Trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts. Inde endent Examiner's Statement In the course of my examination of the statement of account for the year ended 31 December 2025 no matter has come to my attention: l. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect: accounting records have not been kept in accordance with Section 44{11(a) of the 2CK)5 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Regulations the account does not accord with those records the statement of account does not comply with any of the requirements of Regulation 9 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a roper understanding of the account to be reached.
