Welcome from the Minister

'A very warm welcome to our church. As part of Christ's church in Rutherglen, our aim in Stonelaw is to worship and serve the Lord Jesus Christ together. Our hope would be that, as you come among us, you might find here Christian friendship and a place where you might share and grow in that worship and service. If I can help in any way, please don't hesitate to get in touch.'

Strictly Stonelaw

On Saturday the 13th June, Stonelaw Church’s large hall was packed out with visitors from near and far to experience the best of our musical talent. ‘Strictly Stonelaw’ was the name of the event; the purpose was to entertain and raise funds for Revive; a Glasgow based MS Support Group. The concert was the brainchild of our own Margaret Borland, who suffers from MS and has benefited in so many ways from the services provided by Revive in recent years.  Margaret decided that she wanted to raise money to help Revive in their work, so she pulled together a number of Stonelaw folk who sang, played instruments and laughed their way through a most enjoyable evening. The amazing sum of £2030 was raised and Margaret would like to thank everyone who helped to make the evening such a success – both on and off-stage. Find out more about Revive at www.revivemssupport.org.uk .

Quinquennial Visitation

In April 2009, we had our Quinquennial Visitation.  What's that?  Well, it's actually now known as the Presbytery Visit and is a kind of inspection, which take place every five years.  A team from the Church of Scotland visited us to find out all the different activities that go on in Stonelaw and to ensure that both the minister and the congregation are happy with everything.  Download the team's report here.
