Dear (future) friends,

I’m writing this article to introduce myself. I’m Euan, your new student minister. I will be with you from now until the last week in March and over that time I hope to get to know you well, have the chance to work with many of you and lead you in worship.

Now, a bit about me. This is my first placement, and I am right at the beginning of my formal training for ministry. This is a journey that has been a long time in coming, however although I am at the beginning of my ministry journey, I have been a part of the Church of Scotland for some time. My home church is Queens Park Govanhill parish church, over on the south side of Glasgow, I worshiped there, became a member and eventually an elder there. Prior to starting my ministry journey I served as fabric convenor and presbytery elder. I’ve also served as interim moderator in a number of churches across Glasgow.

Before I started my journey into ministry, I was a high school Music Teacher and have a love of all things music related (I still conduct Sanquhar and district silver band) so I was especially delighted to be placed in Springfield Cambridge with all your musical heritage and the wonderful music groups you have. I am very much looking forward to hearing and visiting these groups over the coming months. I have been very involved in my own church groups growing up and I am very much looking forward to visiting the many groups at Springfield Cambridge Parish Church.

I look forward to meeting you and working with you over the coming months, I’m always happy for a chat (especially if there’s tea involved) so feel free to come and chat to me anytime.

With every blessing

Euan.
