Sunday 03 November 2013



Packet Boat Marina, Grand Union Canal
Today was a trip in to St Columba’s Church, Pont Street in Knightsbridge where I am an Elder.  Today was a special service as it was the service for a new Associate Minister (Reverend Andrea Price) as our last one (Reverend Alistair Cumming) had gone to be Secretary to the Presbytery of England.  Andrea has come down from the Orkneys so it is going to be a major change for her and her family.  There were a lot of ministers as we had the Moderator (Reverend James Dowswell), representatives of the Presbytery of England, the next Chaplain General to the Forces, and the Minister of Dunkeld Cathedral (Reverend Fraser Penny) all present.  Fraser ‘preached in’ Andrea as the introduction to the Congregation.  There is always a Sunday Lunch after the service and I ended up sitting at the same table as the Secretary of State for Scotland.
Afterwards it was a journey back to Uxbridge in sunshine.
