Dunning Church Centenary Celebrations

The centenary of the opening of St. Paul's church took place earlier in 2009 , various events took place to mark this special anniversary. Reordering of the church and associated buildings to improve access to the spaces available continues. The project group continues to meet and their deliberations are minuted. Copies of the minutes are available in each of the Stewartry's four sanctuaries and can be viewed here by clicking on the button below. Members of the Stewartry are encouraged to keep up to date with proposals and ask questions of any member of this group throughout the planning stages.

The first phase of a £40,000 upgrade of St Paul's church, Dunning, has now been completed. New lighting has been installed that displays the roof and brightens the chancel; new carpet has been laid in the aisles and some changes have been competed to the layout of the chancel area to create a space that is more focused on the communion table; the vestry has been overhauled and brightened. During October further improvements to the facilities at the church will begin: the toilet is to be upgraded to be more suitable for people with disabilities: doors will be widened and new facilities installed. Storage in the hall will be improved and there will be some redecoration. The kitchen will also be brought up to date. More details of this reordering project can be found in the Harvest edition of the Banner magazine and minutes of the Reordering group's meetings are available to view below.
