More than 150 members and friends from Ayr Presbytery, St Quivox and a large number of John's supporters from Temple Anniesland in Glasgow, Duntocher and Jamestown in Balloch all had made the journey on a blustery winter's night to share in this major step in John's Ministerial career. Following the formal Service of Induction there was a magnificent spread for everyone to enjoy in the Wilson Hall before returning to the Church for a short informal Social with presentations and musical items. Retiring Interim Moderator and Locum Minister took the chair before handing over to his successor after more than four years in charge. Rev John took over for the remainder of the programme which he closed by thanking everyone for the part they had played in making this very important step in his career so enjoyable.

An early start to Christmas It was a cold winter's night with sub-zero temperatures outside, but there was plenty of warmth and happiness inside Dalmilling Church on Friday night for our Annual Christmas Concert.
We might have been short on audience numbers but we were not short on real talent. The Salvation Army supported us well and got proceedings off to a great start and putting us in the right mood for Christmas with a rousing March, Scott Nicol with Debbie Campbell and Elly Priestnall gave us a great set of contemporary and original songs -great Talents who had the audience clapping and tapping their feet. Our very own Jennifer McCutcheon entertained us on the Violin with popular and classical medleys and Rebecca Parkhill - a star of the future treated us to a couple of solos accompanied by her mum, Wendy. The audience had a chance to make a contribution to the programme by singing two Christmas Carols accompanied by the Band Bobby Irvine, Leader of the Salvation Army Band, enthralled us all with his superb rendition of "In The Deep Mid-Winter" before bringing the programme to a close with Stuart with a rendition of White Christmas. A very enjoyable evening for those who did brave the Arctic conditions. Well done to all who helped out behind the scenes and a big thank you to all our performers for their support and their exceptional talents. |
