"Remember me"
We have introduced this page to remember those members of the congregation (and their families) who have passed away before us. Very often we hold Thanksgiving or Memorial Services for our family and friends in our kirk but this has not been possible during the current crisis with its restrictions on gatherings. It is our privilege to bring you the names of our folk, whose lives we will remember in our community, and in this way give thanks to God for them.
It is a page for prayer and reflection.

Prayer:
Holy God, Lord of life and death,
you made us in your image and hold us in your care.
We thank you for your servant Name.....,
for the gift of his/her life,
and for the love and mercy he/she received from you and gave to us.
Especially we praise you for your love in Jesus Christ,
who died and rose from the grave
to free us from evil, and give us life eternal.
Grant that when our time on earth is ended,
we may be united with all the saints
in the joys of your eternal home,
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.

Marie was a very unassuming lady who had been coming to our kirk for a number of years.

Eben Tainsh, the father of Douglas and father-in-law of Anne died in May. Although not formally a member of the kirk here, he attended all our major events in support of his family. He could also be seen in days past having lunch at Soup & Chat with Brian, Jimmy Smith and Gordon McKinnon when both were alive and Cameron and Tom. He was truly a decent gentleman. To Douglas and his family and to his sisters Patricia, Marion and Katrina we extend our deepest sympathy.

Tom conducted the funeral of Joan - a dear friend and a regular member of our congregation.
Joan had lived in Dalziel then moved into a Nursing Home earlier in the year.
Joan succumbed to the Coronovirus but died peacefully, lovingly looked after by the staff and having been able to see her family.
