Marking the retirement of Rev Kenneth I. Macleod:
Due to the various Covid related restrictions and the recent school holidays, it wasn’t possible to mark Kenny I’s retirement before it was formalised on 2nd August. Now that restrictions have eased considerably and the school holidays are over, an opportunity is given to the congregation to contribute towards a gift which will be presented on a specially appointed evening sometime around mid-September.
Contributions clearly marked ‘Presentation’ should be placed in the collection plates in the church and Seminary on Sunday, or at the weekly prayer meetings. If your contribution is by cheque, please make it payable to ‘Stornoway Free Church’.
