During morning worship on Remembrance Sunday, not only was a wreath laid in the church garden but, in this centenary year, the children from JAM Club released red balloons  - one for each person from the area who died in the fighting during World War 1.

Later the same day, at the informal service held at Dickson Court, a single red balloon was also released in memory of all those who had died in battle over the last 100 years.

At morning worship on Sunday 2nd November at Polbeth Harwood Church, Sandra McCabe and Jessie Kelly were ordained as elders in the Church of Scotland

It was with great pleasure that the congregation witnessed these two ladies, who have already given years of work and support to their congregation, commit themselves further to the service of the Church here at Polbeth Harwood.

We wish them every blessing in their new role.

At morning worship on Sunday 19th October, Gordon Erskine was presented with his Church of Scotland long service certificate.

Gordon was ordained as a deacon in 1964, and two years later, in 1966, he was admitted as an elder in the Church - officially serving for 50 years.

Congratulations, Gordon. What a record!              

And he still takes a very active role in Polbeth Harwood Church, where he holds the post of Fabric Convener and in West Lothian Presbytery, where among other activities he is presbytery elder for Polbeth Harwood.
