Church Open Day

Peterculter Parish Church Open Day held on Saturday 13th May.

Report by John Ferguson

Peterculter Parish Church had a very successful weekend when they threw open the doors of their refurbished building for the first time. A large number of visitors came to view the church on the Saturday and the May sunshine allowed people to enjoy teas and coffees outdoors.
On the Sunday, extra chairs had to be brought in as a larger congregation than normal enjoyed worshipping in the new sanctuary. Many visitors also came along on the Sunday evening to a special songs of praise service. Well over £1000 was raised for the church chair fund over the weekend. The chairs are now expected to arrive on May 30th.

The response from members and visitors to the refurbishment has been very positive, with many commenting on the brighter and more welcoming atmosphere.
