North Coast Parish History
Reay Church
Built in 1739, the church is a T-shaped church, and is protected as a category A listed building. Externally it is painted white. The wooden pulpit is probably original to the church, complete with an old sounding board as a canopy. The pulpit is on the long wall of the church with the people seated facing each other on dark varnished wooden pews along two arms of the 'T' shape; the third part was partitioned off in the 1950s to form a vestry. It is beside a new cemetery, though the old burial ground is a short walk
Strathy Church
Originally built in 1910 for the United Free Church but integrated into the Church of Scotland in 1929 this building is highly visible to cars travelling through the village and has two meeting rooms as well as an airy traditional central pew layout. Tea, coffee and refreshments are served before the service.
Strath Halladale Hall
Built on the site of the former Church of Scotland Mission Building and leased to the Halladale Hall and Amenities Committee for 125 years. The original Pulpit was retained and is wheeled out during services. This is a modern, well equipped space which is often used by the community. Tea, coffee and refreshments are served after the service.

Help me to avoid every sin
Thanks to Thee, O God, that I have risen today, To the rising of this life itself; may it be to Thine own glory, O God of every gift, and to the glory, aid Thou my soul. With the aiding of Thine own mercy, even as I clothe my body with wool, cover Thou my soul with the shadow of Thy wing. Help me to avoid every sin, and the source of every sin to forsake, and as the mist scatters on the crest of the hills, may each ill haze clear from my soul, O God.
