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.
