John Coutts – Bon Voyage

After many, many years of service within Mure Memorial, it was good for the congregation to be able to wish farewell to John as he moves down to Southampton to live with his daughter. 

Alistair Borthwick spoke about the many jobs which John had done for the church over the years, including Boys’ Brigade captain, as an elder serving on the finance committee, amongst others, as a choir member, as chairman of Baillieston Churches Together, Community Council Representative, and undertaking fixing many different parts of the fabric of the church.

John regaled us with stories of the past and was glad to call everyone his friends. It was a very emotional presentation, but one which was thoroughly deserved.
