Nearly 200 people marked the ministerial jubilee of Rev Malcolm MacLean with a special service in Stornoway Free Church (Continuing).

 

Mr MacLean was ordained to the ministry by the Presbytery of Lochcarron in 1965. Lochcarron was his first charge. In 1973 he moved to North Tolsta, staying there for 23 years until his retirement as a full time pastor.

 

Since then, he has remained active, preaching the gospel

throughout the Western Isles and beyond and overseeing a weekly prayer meeting in Bragar, Lewis.

 

Rev. Graeme Craig, Minister of Stornoway and Moderator of Presbytery, conducted public worship with the sermon being preached by Rev John Morrison, former minister of Shawbost. M

 

Mr Morrison said that to spend fifty years in the ministry, with unblemished character and faithful teaching, is a cause for much thankfulness.

 

The service was followed by refreshments served in Sandwick Hall with a cake decorated with the text of Psalm 115:12.
