The Kirk Session at Lamlash Church of Scotland has paid tribute to the work of Laurie Campbell, who is taking a back seat after 47 years of faithful service as an elder.
Laurie Campbell, front row second from the right, received the well wishes of members of the kirk session, including Dr Robert Buchanan, senior elder, seated, the Rev Lily McKinnon and Ian Watt, session clerk.
Laurie was ordained in Newlands South Church in Glasgow in 1969 and joined the session in Lamlash Church in 1994. His tireless work has been greatly appreciated by all those whom he visits regularly and by his fellow elders for his weekly assistance on the finance committee, his contribution to session meetings, his commitment to the work of the church and his meticulous arrangements for the celebration of the sacrament of communion.
