Sunday 17th December
We have just finished Carol Service Sunday. It is hard to convey gratitude to the many who had a hand in providing the music, readings and refreshments for both services, which, in view of the adverse weather conditions were very well supported.
The Revd. David McCreadie RIP
David died on the 13th December after a long illness bravely fought.
Many in Callander will have known David, a much loved and respected figure, both as a former minister of St Kessog’s and latterly when he returned to the town in retirement. The funeral will take place at the Kirk on Friday 22nd December: the time of the service will be confirmed.
Our prayers to his family in Gartmore

Almighty God,
you make us glad with the yearly remembrance
of the birth of your Son Jesus Christ:
grant that, as we joyfully receive him as our redeemer,
so we may with sure confidence behold him
when he shall come to be our judge;
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.

in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
