02 December 2019We welcome our new Minister
There was a great representation from 'north of the bridge' when we joined the good folk from Coll, Connel & Dunbeg at the Induction of the Rev. Bezuidenhout to our linked Parishes on November 28th. After the Service, which was led by the Presbytery of Argyll, the bell of St. Oran's Church rang out joyfully and the large congregation followed a young lone piper down the hill to the Village Hall in Connel. Here a buffet feast, gathered from across our linked Parishes, awaited. We were treated to entertainment from pipes, voices, fiddle, accordian and the piano, so much talent. Community singing was joyful and the speeches were both fascinating and encouraging.

Mary thanks to everyone who helped in any way to make our Harvest Thanksgiving so joyous. The church looked lovely and afterwards we were able to distribute many of the floral arrangements to folk in our Parish.
