Friday 17th September
Presentation to mark the retirement of Rev K. I. Macleod.
The presentation service to mark the retirement of Rev K. I. Macleod will be held in the Kenneth Street church on Friday 17th September at 7.30pm, DV. Under normal circumstances, the presentation would have taken place in the hall but due to the current uncertainty with the Covid pandemic it was agreed to host the whole event in the church. Having it in the church has certain advantages - it means that more people can attend, and we can also use the live-streaming facilities for the benefit of those who, for various reasons, will not be able to attend in person.
Attendance will be restricted to approximately 250 and the final figure will be based on the number attending from households as individuals, couples, and family groups. For this reason, it will be necessary to book a place by contacting Lorraine Shewan by email to
[email protected] or by text or telephone to 07720 321 081. This should be done no later than the previous Wednesday evening, 15th September.
Although the order of service is still to be finalised, the evening will begin with a time of worship followed by an interview with Kenny I, viewing a couple of video presentations, the main presentation to Kenny I and Dolly, and the cutting of a cake specially made to mark the occasion.
For those unable to attend, the presentation service will be available live on YouTube (Channel name - Stornoway Free Church).
