The Cluster (the five churches in Newton Mearns and Eaglesham) met in December and, although we held further discussions about our future, no progress was made.
Circumstances outwith our control (for different reasons) meant that we were unable to meet in early 2024. However in late February, following changes in circumstances, Presbytery has given the Cluster until 22nd March to reach a decision about the future of the Churches in Newton Mearns and Eaglesham. Should this not happen, Presbytery will make the decision for the Cluster.
I realise that this is frustrating for you all – as it is for those of us who are involved – but please continue with your patience and pray for a solution as soon as possible.
Of course, by the time you read this, 22nd March will have passed and we may well be able to let you know that progress has been made. If this is the case we will announce this progress in church as soon as we are in a position to do so.
