Anniversary celebrations continue at Drumbo

 

THIS year marks the 350th Anniversary of Drumbo Presbyterian Church and celebrations to mark the event continue.

Rev. Adrian McLernon Minister of Drumbo Presbyterian ChurchIn 1655 the first Presbyterian Minister, the Rev. Henry Livingstone, was ordained in Drumbo. Today Drumbo is a family centered church that encourages every individual to grow closer to God.

Our purpose is "To reflect God's amazing love, to see everyone transformed to fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ."

Throughout the remainder of 2005 Drumbo Presbyterian are planning a number of events to celebrate this important milestone in the congregation's life.

These include a theme Service, Church Family Weekend and Congregational Dinner. On Sunday, September 11 at 11.30 am we begin with a special Service of Thanksgiving. Our guest speaker will be the Moderator of the General Assembly, the Rev. Dr. Harry Uprichard.

On Sunday evening at 6.30pm. a week of Outreach, entitled 'Looking for Answers?' will commence. Life is full of questions. We struggle with stress, relation-ships, finance, identity, the future. Each evening Trevor Matthews (Faith Mission) will explore the answers we need.
