The Cake

was cut by our oldest member, Netta McCallum. In the foreground of the picture is a tier of the cake that was baked to celebrate 125 years of Armadale Methodist Church. Unfortunately, it proved to be unfit for human consumption.

But these were not our only cakes

Six of our members were celebrating birthdays during the week of the Church Anniversary.

In Chronological order:                             Donnie Caldwell,  May Thompson, Willie Lochhead, Bert Drummond,   May Currie, Ena Gray

Together, their ages added up to 468!

 

 A Commemorative Mug

was produced to mark the occasion, printed with a photograph of the Church and the legend,

“Armadale Methodist Church 150th Anniversary 1865 – 2015”

Here modeled by Mrs Margaret Law,  dressed in a garb befitting her membership of  The Wesley Singers, who sang prior to and during the Service of Thanksgiving

Guests

Included representatives from Wallacestone and Stirling Methodist Churches, Armadale Parish Church, St. Anthony’s R.C. Armadale , URC Bathgate, Bathgate Baptist Church  and the local councillor.

 

All the food was delicious and attractively served – and we all got a piece of cake with our cup of tea to finish off an unforgettable time together.
