MARCH 2008
On Palm Sunday, 16th March, there was one morning service only in the Stewartry in Forteviot Village Hall at 11am. It was a memorable start to Holy Week and a good opportunity for the whole congregation to worship together. After the service lunch (soup & various fillings for rolls) was served. Following lunch the meeting received the annual accounts and voted upon a proposal to adopt the Unitary Constitution. The Group considering the re-ordering at Dunning displayed photographs of our existing four sanctuaries as well as photographs of some other churches visited that have already been re-ordered. The congregation were invited to give feedback on what they saw as well as ideas for changes at Dunning .

celebrate the retiral of our Minister, Colin Williamson, the
service was attended by nearly 250. Thereafter, by the kind
permission of Lady Jean Wemyss (Invermay) we held a

the day to be thoroughly enjoyed by all. Further details and
