I write to remind you that the Presbytery will meet on two occasions in August.
We meet at
Old
Kilpatrick
Bowling
Parish
Church on Wednesday 6 August at
6.45pm for the Admission of John McCutcheon as a Reader.
For the avoidance of doubt the Hall at Old Kilpatrick Bowling is directly opposite the Church, and the smaller hall there is where we are to meet.
We meet at Bearsden:
Westerton
Fairlie
Memorial
Parish
Church on Wednesday 13 August at
6.45pm for the Induction of the Rev Dr Christine Goldie as Minister.
The Rev Ian McEwan will preach and Rev Alastair Ramage will conduct worship.
I know you will make every effort to attend these important services, and I look forward to seeing you at them.
Our next Ordinary meeting will be at Dumbarton:
Riverside
Parish
Church on Tuesday 2 September at
7.00pm.
I hope you are able to enjoy something of these summer days.
Yours warmly
Colin

New Moderator
The Rev Andrew Frater has been installed as Moderator of the Presbytery of Dumbarton
The minister of Cairns Church in Milngavie, succeeds the Rev Ramsay Shields of neighbouring parish, St Luke’s, who has just concluded his year long term in office.
Ordained in 1987, Andrew spent seven years at a church in Annan, Dumfriesshire, before taking on the charge of Cairns. He recently completed a Masters in Theology on the topic of pastoral care among the terminally ill, an area which continues to be of considerable interest to him.
Originally from the south side of Glasgow, Andrew is married to Diana and the couple have two children, Laura, 16, and Emma 13. He admits to being “not very good” at hobbies but enjoys the occasional game of golf.
Andrew is currently interim moderator at the vacant charge of St Andrew’s Church in Dumbarton, a role he thoroughly enjoys.
Andrew said: “I’m delighted to be taking on the role of Moderator of Dumbarton Presbytery and hope that I can offer something fresh and different to the chair.”
Andrew was installed at a service at Cairns Church on Tuesday, June 3Please remember that as of April all flyers, letterheads etc. from your church should have the words "Church of Scotland" and the charities number included.
