Remembrance Sunday 2024

We were joined by our friends and neighbours from across Killermont and Bearsden so that, together, we could mark this time of national remembrance. Our Boys Brigade, Guides and Scouts shared in our service and marched down Rannoch Drive afterwards. People of all ages helped to lead through music and words. Hamish, Sophie-Louise and Chris led our Act of Remembrance with our two minutes of silence signalled by David playing the Last Post and concluded by Alan playing Flowers of the Forest. The trumpet and pipes were very poignant. We honoured those who have service and sacrificed. And we challenged ourselves, to allow our remembering to move from tradition to transformation.

Tearfund Big Quiz Nov 2024

Prayer from Miss Mathieson and our own Ailie Mowat. Jonny set the Christmas scene and Alan, our minister and school chaplain, talked about the gifts from God that cannot be wrapped. Thank you to Miss Smith and her team who nurture our children with such skill and care.

Boys’ Brigade Junior Section

Along with the Anchor Boys and Company Section, the Juniors enjoyed a LOUD and very fun pre-Christmas celebration. Lots of great games and making Christmas penguins (which became rather competitive)! Roll on January! And we wish Tom, who’s been helping out, every blessing as he goes to South Africa to work with YWAM.
