Families of victims, community members and first responders at the scene on December 21, 1988, when Pan Am Flight 103 was blown out of the skies above the town, which lost 11 of its own residents along with passengers and crew, have been invited.
The service is in partnership with the Pan Am 103 Lockerbie Legacy Foundation who bought the closed-down building from the Church of Scotland this year.
It is now being restored and will become the home of Lockerbie Memorial Church Museum which will blend worship with commemoration, education and advocacy.
