Back in March we had to make the decision to postpone the service of Union to form Ft William Kilmallie Church from Ft William Duncansburgh and Kilmallie Parishes, and link Kilmonivaig to the newly united congregation to form a new charge to which Rev Richard Baxter will be minister.

The service took place on 19th November

The service was live streamed and is available to view.

The internet dropped on several occasion during the live stream, but hopefully those watching live were able to catch sufficient that they felt a part of the proceedings.

An edited version – bringing back in the pre-recorded sections in full – and with a little audio dubbing – is available to watch at the link below:
