55+ Fellowship
After a break of over two years we hope to restart the 55+ Fellowship again beginning on Friday 16th September at 2.30 - 4.00pm in the M.A. Hall.
Our guests that day will be Rev Calum Murdo Smith, our new assistant minister, and his wife Johan. The singing will be led by another well-known ‘Siarach’, Dan Macphail.
With COVID now under control, we hope to provide a safe environment where we can enjoy fellowship again. Anyone aged 55 and over will be made very welcome at our gatherings which will follow the usual format. New faces will be made particularly welcome.
Unfortunately we will not be able to provide a minibus to take people there and back, but anyone wishing transport should contact Duncan Norman on 860 418 or 07787 973802 and every effort will be made to assist.
