Our minister, Rev. Malcolm Cuthbertson, for the last 6 years and 7 months has moved on to pastures new at Rutherglen West and Wardlawhill. A hearty lunch at the Rabbie Burns Hallson the 7th May, 2017, was enjoyed by both Mure Memorial and St Andrew’s congregations to mark this occasion.
It was a sad occasion for us all but Malcolm leaves behind two congregations which are committed to the future of their respective churches. Moira Scott delivered a heartfelt farewall speech, which Malcolm followed up by singing a couple of songs. Excellent! You really had to be there.
Malcom leaves with the grateful thanks of his former parishioners who have benefitted from his work and leadership. Also for his commitment in engaging with the parish in conducting many weddings, the happy baptisms and also his compassion in times of sadness. Our loss is a real gain for Rutherglen West and Wardlawhill.
We all pray that Malcolm, and wife, Rena, enjoy the new challenges ahead and hope that they look back fondly on their time in Garrowhill.
