A LARGE crowd gathered in North Connel Hall on Saturday January 13 for a celebration and farewell party for the Reverend Jeff McCormick who has served Ardchattan Parish since 1984.
Several parishioners shared stories and memories of Jeff’s time over the 33 years and a beautiful buffet was enjoyed before Jeff and his wife Fiona were presented with a Highland pottery dish and teapot which will be well used in the manse in Callendar to which they will be moving shortly.
Jeff spoke affectionately of his time in service in Argyll and thanked everyone for the support he had received over the years. Members of the Victory Hall Committee in Benderloch also presented Jeff with a wooden quaich and bottle of Oban whisky as a thank you for the many years of service he gave as chairman and secretary of The Victory Hall Committee.
