The New Minister

The Congregation have now elected the Rev David Scott to be the new minister of the Parish.

In church terms the next part of the process is for members of the congregation to sign a “call” to Mr Scott inviting him to take up this post.

This document will be available at Stenton Church on the next two Sundays and on Tuesdays 22nd and 29th June between 6.30 and 7.00pm. 

If you are not a church member you are also invited to be part of this process and you can sign a paper associating yourself with the call.  

Please contact Bill Stevenson if you would like any other information.

Heather Dillin

Hi everyone

It has been suggested that the community might like to club together to give Heather a leaving present for all her contribution to the school and all the children she has taught over the last 20 odd years.

Therefore, I will be collecting donations for her from the community. If you would like to donate some money towards her present, please can you hand it in to me by Wednesday 23 June.

Many thanks

Church Service

Dear All,

As you will have read in Contact the search for a new Parish Minister is hopefully coming to a conclusion. .

This Sunday there will be a joint service at Prestonkirk Church at 11 am when the Rev David Scott will preach with a view to being appointed as the new minister.  In church terms he is the “sole nominee” for the charge.  After the service members of the congregation will be asked to vote on whether they wish to invite Mr Scott to be the minister or not. 

All are very welcome, even if you are not a church member.  If possible it would also be good to see some children from Stenton there. 

Mr Scott is currently the minister at New Kilpatrick Church in Bearsden, which has one of the largest Church of Scotland congregations in the country. He is married with three grown up children.

If you would like any more details please contact Bill Stevenson.

Heather Dillin – A Farewell Picnic

Dear Parents and former pupils of Stenton Primary School

Heather Dillin who has been teaching at Stenton Primary School for 20 years is retiring this summer.  (I must emphasise that she is not retiring age but is going to join her husband in retirement!!!)

A farewell picnic has been organised on the village green on June 25th from 12-30 to 4ish.

She does not want a formal send off but would love any of her former colleagues or pupils to come and say hello and goodbye in the passing!   There is no official time and people can come and go as they please bringing their own picnic or a bottle or two!

I have been asked by the school to contact former pupils and staff members so that as many people as possible will know about the event.  I have made contact with a number of people but since I am going away for a few days want to try to reach everyone.

We fully realise that many of her former pupils will be at work and unable to attend but parents would be welcomed with open arms!

Several members of staff are also leaving on that day so it will be quite a party.

Hope to see you there.

Best Wishes

Bughts Decking Work Party

If you have a brush cutter/strimmer, cordless drill, sledgehammer or a saw you would be most welcome to join our work party to clear the area and to get the posts and first frame up for the decking area.

See you there

Stenton Bowling Club

Stenton Bowling Club is justifiably proud of its achievements in recent years largely due to the voluntary work carried out by the committee and members. To enable us to continue to provide bowling facilities for the local community we must rely upon the continued support of all members.

We must strive to encourage new members to join the club.

We are always looking for ways to increase our finances possibly by encouraging members to take part in the clubs lottery “Lucky Numbers” and by attending all social evenings and activities.

Bowling for all the family!!!
