Sunday 26th May
Rev Ian Watson led us in worship in our first service as Mearns Free Church, and welcomed us as the youngest congregation in Scotland today!
The full service can be viewed here and is well worth watching.
This was a special service in several ways, not least that it was our first service as MFC, but it was a Presbytery service led by Rev Ian Watson, moderator elect of the Glasgow & Argyll Presbytery. Worship was followed by some formal business.
