St. Margaret’s Parish Church 70th celebrations

That this House congratulates St. Margaret’s Parish Church in Woodside, Glenrothes, on the occasion of their 70th anniversary; notes that St Margaret’s has been a focal point for Christian worship since the earliest days of Glenrothes New Town, holding its first services in 1953 and moving into its new purpose built premises in May 2024; records its gratitude for the service of Rev Maurice King, Rev Wally Shaw, Rev Ian McCree, Rev William Abernethy, Rev John McLean and most recently Rev Eileen Miller who have served as Ministers; recognises also the decades of service provided by generations of Elders and parishioners in making St Margaret’s such a welcoming place for people of all faiths and none; recognises their efforts in delivering a year long programme of concerts, ceilidhs, silent disco, open days and other celebrations marking this significant milestone in the Church’s history; and wishes everyone at St. Margaret’s the very best for the next 70 years and beyond.
