Moderator comes to Muirhouse

The Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, the Right Reverend David Arnott, visited Muirhouse St Andrew’s Parish Church on Monday. David met the kids of the Messy Church Monday Group, joining in play activities and showing that he’s a real dab hand at quoits!

Welcoming the Moderator was Muirhouse St Andrew’s locum minister Linda Dunbar.  The pair (pictured below) are old friends – David was Linda’s ‘boss’ when she was in her final year of training for the ministry in St Andrews in 2000.
