Closing worship

A congregation of well over 100, including several members of the 1960s Youth Fellowship, assembled for the closing worship at St John’s Onthank, Kilmarnock, on August 27.

The service, the last before the church united with New Laigh Kirk, was conducted by the Rev Fiona Maxwell, Interim Moderator, with Holy Communion conducted by the Rev Susan Anderson, minister from 1997-2014. Afterwards the bible and communion elements were carried from the sanctuary, followed by the congregation, outside into the grounds of the church and concluded there with the Benediction.
