Smithton Celebrate 25 Years of Ministry

September 25, 2009

imageOn Friday 18 September, Smithton celebrated 25 years of David Meredith’s ministry, by means of a huge congregational gathering in the church. Elder, Charlie Anderson, said, “It was truly a wonderful night as the congregation joined together for a meal, to listen to great music and song, and to celebrate 25 years of God’s goodness to us.  A lot of organisation and preparation went into the night and we managed to squeeze in around 230 people from the congregation for the meal. A huge effort was made by the ladies and gents alike to transform the hall, and it really looked fantastic for the evening celebrations. During the evening, David was given tickets for the family for a holiday to the USA, as appreciation for all that they have done for the fellowship.”

David was inducted to Smithton on 18 September 1984 as first and only minister of the congregation when it consisted of only a handful of people. Since then, God has blessed their ministry together and today it is a vibrant part of God’s church in Scotland. image
