Fairlie Parish Church in the news: Church merger proposed

17 February

Did you see the story in this week's Largs & Millport Weekly News about how churches in Millport and Fairlie could be set to share ministers with Largs under radical merger plans being proposed?

Apparently the Church of Scotland is working on a ten year plan which would involve their places of worship in smaller communities sharing their ministers with Largs churches.

According to the article, both Fairlie and Millport churches have appealed the proposals after Overton and St Andrew's Churches recently merged together into a single entity of West Kilbride Parish Church.

What do we think of the news?

This would be dreadful for our village where the church --for many people ---is the hub of village life and to remove this would ruin village life for us all. We are a very active church, the building is used nearly every day, we pay our way---what are the Church of Scotland thinking about?!!!!

Patricia Peters says

I agree with Nancy and Ian. Ray and I retired from England and moved to Fairlie last September 09. We were made to feel most welcome by the local church and the villagers. We love getting involved in all aspects of village life. to merge the churches would be wrong. Please don't let it happen.
