Closing Service
On Sunday 22 March 2026, Rev Sandra Farrington welcomed everyone to the final service to be held in our beautiful church. This was a very solemn and emotional service which included Holy Communion. Sadly, it was also the Last Supper for the "Old Lady of Backbrae" as our church has been affectionately known.
Both the congregation of Kilsyth Anderson Church and Kilsyth Burns & Old ceased to exist from this date, and are uniting to become Kilsyth and District Parish Church, using the building of the former Kilsyth Anderson Church.
SERVICE OF UNION
The Service of Union will take place at 7.00pm on Thursday 26 March in the former Anderson Church building.
LONG SERVICE CERTIFICATES
Following the service on Sunday 28 September 2025, the Rev John Campbell presented long service certificates to 8 of our elders:
David Cant, Thomas Chalmers, Sheila Couser, John Duncan, Janette MacFarlane, Archie MacGregor, Anne Simpson and Neil Sneddon.
Certificates were also presented to Evelyn Hay, Jean MacGregor, Grace Ritchie and Marion Torney at a later date.
