Maxwelltown West Church

May Brown, a friendly 98-year-old lady, sits sipping her tea every Sunday after the service, joining in with the conversation at her table.  It was during one of these occasions, that I discovered she was a keen embroiderer.
Before she retired many years ago, May was an Art teacher in Dumfries.  She grew up near Dunscore and went to a one teacher primary school at Glenesslin.  She went on to Dumfries Academy, cycling two miles to Dunscore and back every day to catch the bus to the secondary school.

Mike Marshall has been lending more than a careful ear to one of our most beautiful Gospels.

When Rev. Johannes, our minister suggested that perhaps we as church members might like to sit down and record the entire Gospel of St Luke and so create a ‘milestone’ in our congregation’s history, I was intrigued. Surrounded as we are by instantly available digital resources you don’t have to search very far to find all kinds of interpretations of our holy scriptures.
