Rosehall Church of Scotland; Remembrance Sunday 13 November 2022

There was a short commemoration at Rosehall War Memorial led by Lt Colonel Colin Gilmour who said prayers for those named on it.  He laid a wreath on behalf on the Sutherland Lieutenancy, Mrs Carol Gilmour on behalf of the British Legion and Donald Macdonald on behalf of Sutherland Masonic Lodge.   Individual crosses were laid by other residents of the parish.  The Remembrance service was held in the Church of Scotland when the congregation were pleased to welcome back for the day Mrs Dorothy and Dr Victor Bruce who played the organ.  Lily Byron read the names of the fallen from the parish while John Wood read Binyon’s words.  Jennifer Munro responded with the Kohima epitaph and Anne Gould read Psalm 46.  Adrian Fenn read John McCrae’s “In Flanders fields” before Colin Gilmour gave an address based on the psalm’s teaching that trust should overcome fear in times of trouble.  A collection for the work of the Earl Haig Fund through PoppyScotland raised £136.
