Angus & dad raise £1148.19 for Christian Aid with across Scotland bike ride.

Well done to Angus and Billy Burnside who cycled from Montrose on the East coast to Ft William. It took them 6 days and as you can see they encountered some unusual conditions.

A great achievement, especially for Angus who is 12 years old!

Thanks to all Church members & friends who sponsored them.

St Munda's Burns Supper

23rd January 2010

Our first ever Burns Supper held on Saturday 23rd January in the church hall was a great success! Fifty people attended the event and enjoyed a delicious 3 course meal of cock-a-leekie soup, haggis neeps & tatties and trifle!

The haggis was piped in by Jennifer Wilson and was ably addressed by Bill Strachan. Bill was also MC for the evening. The Selkirk Grace was delivered by Rev Anne Winning. The Immortal memory was proposed by Ken Macdonald and his theme was Burns and the Church. Ken's well researched narrative on Burns was interspersed with many humorous stories. Ewan Smith gave an excellent Toast to the Lassies! it was witty, funny and in some cases true! The reply on behalf of the lassies was delivered by Karen Marshall. Karen's speech was very humorous and received a great ovation by the assembled company. Rev Alison Burnside entertained the company with two of Burns' love songs. Bill gave a splendid rendition of Holy Willie's Prayer, complete with night shirt and cap!

Music was provided by Michelle McPhee and Ken Macdonald. The night was voted a great success and we are already looking forward to next years! £480 was raised for Church funds.
