easter morning celebration
Stewarton Churches Together at Easter: friends
from the Churches in Stewarton celebrated Easter
morning with an Open Air Service on Gameshill. This Open Air
Celebration has been marked since 2010 thanks to an idea by Rev.
Gavin Niven and has been well supported over the years by Church
and community alike. After the Service, the children's decorated eggs
were judged, prizes awarded and the eggs rolled before we all set off
for breakfast together in St. Columba's Church Hall where £70 was
collected for the work of Stewarton Churches Together.

“Souper Sunday” 2017 took place on 29th January. The Service featured
involvement by Joel Githinji, Church of Scotland Mission Partner
to Nepal where he has been working as an HIV Programme Officer
for the past 10 years. People of all ages stayed to have lunch together
and collected for the Church of Scotland's HIV Programme £706
(including Gift Aid). In the past eight years of "Souper Sundays", the
congregation has raised a total of £6,374 (including Gift Aid). This
10-day tour of duty was Joel's final visit to the Presbytery of Irvine &
Kilmarnock, bringing his Contract to an end. He has now joined his
wife and children in the USA where they plan to settle permanently.

the future ministry is settled, the day to day work of the Church and
arranging for guest preachers will be overseen for Presbytery by Rev. Eddie
Marshall of Crosshouse who has been appointed Interim Moderator.
