OTHER RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

1993

On Good Friday, 9th April, a Metal Sculpture depicting Christ on the Cross was erected in the Church Garden.  It was a gift from the art department of Ayr Academy.

1995

An improved Sound System was of significant help to those with hearing difficulties and incorporated facilities for recording weekly services for the benefit of house bound and  sick members.

1996

Two side Pews were removed to allow availability for the
accommodation of members in Wheelchairs.

The Session House was Refurbished.  Carpet Tiles were fitted, New Chairs were purchased and purpose-built furniture was constructed.

1997 External Speakers were fitted to the Organ.
2000

In May of this year Project 2000 was launched.  The object of Project 2000 was to completely enhance and transform the wooden interior of our Church, including the Pews and the Window Sills.  Indeed, under the guidance of Bob Bell and the Working Party, members of the Congregation were asked to volunteer for this very ambitious project.  Although such work, including scraping off existing varnish and sandpapering, was often slow and laborious the end results are certainly worth all the effort and upheaval. 

Thirty nine Elder’s Mail Boxes in the shape of a Celtic Cross were erected outside the Session House.  The Mail Boxes were designed and built by Jim Meikle.  Part of this unique structure was actually built from one of the Pews that had recently been removed from the Church.

2002

Further improvements were made to the Sound System, including the provision of new Speakers and a Mixing desk.
