The new Rector of the East Perthshire Group of Churches (Alyth, Blairgowrie, Ballintuim and Coupar Angus), Rev’d Kim Lafferty was instituted on Sunday 20th June at 11.00 am at St Michael, Ballintuim, by Bishop Ian Paton.  Please pray for Kim and the congregations as she takes up her new ministry. Kim is very welcome as she joins the Diocese from Manchester.

One of the congregation said it was: ‘a wonderful “country” Institution , up there in the hills, a superb occasion for all of us who were able to witness Kim’s joining us.

A huge blessing to be a part of the quiet, dignified ceremony amongst the birdsong and the wilds of Perthshire. It is one of those events that will never be forgotten.’
