Memories of St Thomas' Church
Ann Sheach (nee MacLean) recalls times spent in St Thomas’ Church in the 1960s and 1970s.
“I was christened and married in the church.
“I loved the Sunday School Christmas Parties in the church hall – playing traditional party games, watching Tom & Jerry cartoons, singing carols and with lights dimmed waiting to hear Santa’s bell as he came upstairs to see us. Sunday School picnics to Craigtoun Park were also happy events, with bags of sausage rolls, iced buns etc. from Myles the bakers and streamers from the double decker bus windows. I have very early memories of being with my Mum at some sort of group in the church hall as a toddler. I also have memories of the youth club in the hall and putting on a show dancing to “These Boots Were Made for Walking”. My parents Willie and Hannah MacLean were very involved in the church – Session Clerk, President of the Guild etc. and good friends with both the Rev Howieson and the Rev Alex Maclean.”
