Wow! I think we’ve finally recovered from such a wonderful day with our Celebration Service, Communion and Celebration Lunch.

We thoroughly enjoyed sharing in the happiness with our guests, including Mary Hernon (depute Lord Lieutenant), Steven Bonnar MP, Rev Alan Mckenzie, Rev Jim Zambonini, Rev Iain Murdoch, family members of Rev Albert Thomson and many more.

A hugg thank you to our locum Minister, Rev Margaret Rose, our Session Clerk, organist for organising the service. A massive shout out to our hard working and committed fundraising and social team for their wonderful Celebration lunch. We were utterly spoiled!

150th Anniversary Open Day

On Saturday 21st October, we held our Anniversary Open Day. The remnants of Storm Babet could not dampen our enthusiasm!

We welcomed some familiar faces and old friends to browse our displays and exhibitions.

We were thrilled to have Profession Robin Webster give us a fascinating presentation on his father’s work, and on our own fine collection of Arts and Crafts stained glass windows.

It was a delight to have our oldest member come along, Sadie Nisbet, to view our displays and reminisce on many happy memories. Sadie can vaguely recall Rev Esson Gillon, who was our minister prior to 1942!
