INTERIM MODERATOR CHANGE
The Rev. Fiona Crawford, Presbytery Clerk of Forth Valley and Clydesdale has contacted me to advise that Murdo has been re-assigned to another congregation within the Presbytery as Interim Moderator with immediate effect.
The Clerk advised that this is normal practice within vacancy situations.
As a result of this change, our new Interim Moderator going forwards is the Rev. Anne Paton who has previously been in place here at The New Wellwynd before her surgery last year.
We take this opportunity to wish Murdo well in his new role and look forward to welcoming Anne back to New Wellwynd in due course.
David Walker, Session Clerk.
