A joint divine service was held in Isle of Bute Parish Church in Rothesay on Saturday 13th September.
What a marvellous Service of Thanksgiving led by Bro Revd Peter Park Senior Warden Lodge Oban Commercial 180. He was also accompanied by Bro Revd Jonathan Fleming Senior Chaplain Lodge Greenock St John No 175.
It was a very special service and was enjoyed by both Brethren and Companions from Argyll and the Isles.
Thank you so much everyone that made this day possible,the organisation and planning made everything go without a hitch.
We were lead in the music by Organist Bro Tom Adams Lodge Oban Commercial No 180 and we all assisted in the fine hymn singing!
After a fine Harmony, with a fine selection of buffet food and the biggest strawberry tart you ever saw, we were given a very solemn and interesting presentation on Prostate Cancer by our very own Prostate Champion Bro Archie McCulloch Substitute PGM Argyll and the Isles. If anyone would like more information or support please contact Bro Archie direct, or ask anyone from both orders for more information. Bro Archie would welcome anyone who would like the short 20 minute presentation and would be happy to provide this.
The two orders then presented a cheque to the Rev Sibyl Tchaikovsky for which she was very grateful.
The Grand Superintendent MEC Robert Wilson and Provincial Grand Master Bro John Stewart would like to thank Lodge Rothesay St. John, No. 292 and Isle of Bute Parish Church for hosting the Service of Thanksgiving.
