Immediately after the Service of Remembrance at the War Memorial, the season of Remembrance comes to a close with an ecumenical worship service hosted by Troon Old. The joint congregations of Troon Church of the Nazarene, St Ninian’s Scottish Episcopal Church and Troon Old Parish Church will share worship, with participation by members of Royal British Legion Scotland and the uniformed organisations. The preacher will be Canon Tom Montgomery of St Ninian’s Scottish Episcopal Church.
All attending the ceremony at the War Memorial are warmly welcomed to come in out of the cold and share in this special church service, followed by tea and coffee in the Church Hall.
Members of the congregation not attending the War Memorial should note that morning service will be delayed from its usual starting time of 10:30am.
