On Sunday afternoon 26th August 2012, after taking the Service, Mr Dan Priester, Elder and Mr Bob Cowie, son-in-law of founder member Mrs Chris Sloan, catered for nearly 40 members, adherents and friends, and some children, who came for a barbecue to celebrate the 50th birthday of the congregation. In attendance were founder members Anne Turner, Chris Sloan, Pawel Sliwka and Margaret Sloan together with many of their children, who were baptised years ago, and many of whom have children of their own. Mairi Cowie led the children present in singing 'Happy birthday, St Columba'. It was good to see so many in the church; if they were all confirmed and regular attenders it would be even more wonderful.
