And it's for the better!

This week our boys and young leaders continued their faith in mission with a range of duties within St Marnock's Parish Church, Kilmarnock

Our boys and YL's are learning a massive amount about their kirk and congregation and have taken on learning in a variety of roles that serve the congregation and visitors.

This week they:
Took on Beadle duties (bringing in the Bible to start worship)
Ran the Audio System
Ran the Camera and YouTube System
Served Tea and Coffee at the end of the service
Cleared the hall
Started plans to repair the practice Carillon (bells to you and me)

We should probably mention our officers too! OiC David Kerr, our Pianist/Organist for today, and Captain Sandy McNamara who was on training duty for the boys.

There's still plenty more that people can get involved in with the kirk and, as we grow, so will our action.

A huge well done to everyone involved and we can't wait to see everyone in St Marnock's again.

Also, a special mention to a visitor we had today at the kirk who was keen to learn more about our church and develop their faith journey. It was a pleasure to welcome you and introduce you to our work at 12th Kilmarnock Boys' Brigade

In great sadness we share our condolences to the family and friends of Captain David McDonald.

Captain of 4th/5th Kilmarnock Boys Brigade he was a great asset to the brigade and to those that came through the company. He saw the company through some hard times and brought them to where they are today.

We pray for those affected and for the future of 4th/5th, the officers and boys, as they navigate these tough times.

From all of us at 12th Kilmarnock, Thank You Cpt. David McDonald for your service and dedication to the brigade

It is with deep regret that we have to inform you that our Captain, David McDonald, passed away on Wednesday 7th October.

David was an outstanding Captain of 4th/5th Kilmarnock Boys Brigade who was totally committed to the Company and the Boys within it. David served for over 50 years, initially as Officer In Charge of Junior Section then as Company Captain.

Please hold David's family in your thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.

"We have an anchor".
