The Ayr St. Quivox Congregation were honoured to receive a welcome visit at Auchincruive from the Moderator of Ayr Presbytery, the Rev. David Gemmell, Minister at Ayr Auld Parish Church. The Moderator brought the good wishes of Ayr Presbytery and the Congregation of his own Church and presented the Rev. Ken Yorke, Interim Moderator and locum Minister at Ayr St. Quivox with a Quaich to mark his visit.
Rev. Gemmell, at last, was able to fulfil a long-held ambition to preach at Auchincruive Church, and he had the opportunity to dedicate a new Lectern Falll which had been designed and crafted by Eileen Williams, Pat Johnson, Margaret McConnell and Katherine Black, all members of The Sewing Corner who meet weekly at Dalmilling Church, and who had worked hard over the past 3 months to produce this dazzling piece, which no doubt, will add a welcome splash of colour and interest to Auchincruive.
Rev.Gemmell, illustrated his Sermon with the aid of some thought provoking Projector Slides and encouraged us, although a small Congregation, who were having some success - but probably did not realise it - "to Dream BIG Dreams" and have the courage to reach for the Stars!
Over a cup of tea and a slice of Liz's delicious gingerbread, Rev Gemmell said how much he had enjoyed his visit to Auchincruive, and, so did we!! Haste ye back David!
