Kilbride Parish Church Ladies' Group
Walker Ewart came to Kilbride last night to give a talk from his life experiences and using poetry he described many amusing life scenarios, beginning at birth through childhood, love, marriage, middle age and growing old, to the inevitable end. The audience could relate completely to the extremely well written and hilarious poems, wonderfully delivered by Walker in what was a thoroughly entertaining evening.

A donation from funds raised at this event will be given to the MS Society.

Walker will be coming to Kilbride on Wednesday evening to give a talk from his life experiences and by using poetry and stories he will start from birth through childhood, love, marriage, middle age and growing old to the inevitable end.
Many of us will recognise some of the experiences. The evening will make you think and laugh and be thankful for the life we have been given.

Palm Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week and in normal circumstances the Procession of Palms would be led by Annie the donkey, symbolic of the c**t that Jesus rode into Jerusalem before his crucifixion. Unfortunately this morning the weather turned very nasty with rain and a strong wind so the decision was made not to process from the parish hall up to the church. However Annie was able to follow the choir into the church led by the Rector’s church warden, James Christie. James has been working with horses for many years and Annie was quite at ease with him walking up the aisle as everyone sang the traditional Palm Sunday hymn, All Glory, Laud and Honour.

Annie left the church for the duration of the Palm Sunday service to graze in the gardens, but returned to lead everyone out at the end.
