Harvest Thanksgiving Sunday Service
On Sunday, 25 September we held our Harvest Thanksgiving service. The congregation generously donated food which has been taken to the Blythswood Highland Food Bank. We are grateful for all these donations, for all God has done for us, and for the lovely arrangements created for the occasion by Judy Thomas, Cecilia Miller and Isobel Murray.
Church bell rung 70 times
On Friday, 9 Sept., the church bell was rung 70 times at noon, to commemorate each year of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II’s reign. All church business meetings are suspended this week during the official ten days of mourning. Her Majesty was an example to us all, especially because of her outspoken Christian faith.
New disabled access ramp at St Andrews Church
Our new disabled access ramp is finally complete and already in use! 
We prayed for this every week for twelve years and God blessed our persistence. This also fulfills the request of local people who had petitioned for it for years to enable those with poor mobility to attend church and funeral services of friends and family.
Thanks!
Office bearers retiring – Tom and Mary MacRae
The congregation honoured and thanked Tom and Mary MacRae during a special moment in the worship service on Sunday, 15 May. Tom offered very dedicated and capable service as fabric convener for a number of years and Mary served for many years as clerk to the congregational board and as an elder on the session and presbytery elder. We are very grateful for their dedication to God and to our church. On behalf of the congregation the minister presented Tom with a set of golf balls and Mary with a scarf as tokens of our gratitude. God bless you Tom and Mary!
