WE NEED YOUR PLANTS

The Journey has begun - towards raising the £300,000 needed to carry out the planned major renovation of the Church interior to make it fit for a variety of both church & community purposes as we go forward into the future. Our fundraising team have taken a
stand at the Kirkcudbright Plant Fair (Sunday 2nd. May: 10am. until 3pm). Help us to get off to a great start by donating plants & cuttings for sale. Your contributions, however small, will all contribute to a successful start to our fundraising ambitions! To donate
items, please contact Tracy Jones.
 

THE DAY FINALLY ARRIVES! VOICE FROM THE PULPIT

Having been welcomed to the Church on the previous Sunday, Rev. James Gatherer returned on Sunday 11th. April to begin regular pulpit duties. Lockdown restrictions limited numbers attending to fifty - a limit which was swiftly reached! The theme of the sermon was “The Restoration of Israel”, and time flew by as the congregation were treated to a masterful exposition of Israel’s Old Testament history and God’s covenants from Abraham’s time until the time of Jesus Christ - following whose death & resurrection, The New Covenant was established.

Lockdown, not to mention having to overcome a year of treatment for a life-threatening illness, all conspired to delay the arrival of “The New Minister” to the pulpit of Kirkcudbright Parish Church —- until now! However at the service led by Rev. Marian Dixon on 4th. April, Lesley Purdy was finally able to present Rev. James Gatherer with the illuminated scroll signed by members of the congregation, and welcomed him to his new charge. Following a short “Thank-You” speech, there were smiles all round and a heartfelt spontaneous round of applause from all present.
