The General Assembly will meet, God willing, on Monday 18th May at Partick Free Church (Continuing), 2-4 Thornwood Terrace, Glasgow G11 7QZ. The Assembly will commence with public worship conducted by the retiring Moderator, Rev E Trevor Kirkland, at 6.00pm. Following the election of a new Moderator, a more informal time of fellowship will be held in the adjacent hall, this is known as the Moderatorial reception.

Many commissioners, delegates, and members of the public who attended the General Assembly last year.

The Moderatorial address on Tuesday morning is always an important moment in the Assembly and often sets the tone for what is to follow. The Assembly arranges its own timetable but certain items of business have well established slots in the proceedings. The Welfare of Youth & Education Committee will present their Report on Tuesday evening and this always includes the presentation for Sabbath School prize-winners; on this occasion two young people will receive awards.

On Wednesday morning, following a time of prayer, the attention of the Assembly turns to matters of faith and morals when the Public Questions, Religion and Morals Committee present their report. The Missions night on Wednesday evening is always popular and this year will include reports from our own mission areas in France, Spain, Portugal, Mexico and Sri Lanka.

One pleasing feature of the Assembly is the opportunity to meet with visiting delegates from sister churches in other parts of the United Kingdom and further afield. We also anticipate visits from representatives from, amongst others, the Trinitarian Bible Society and the Scottish Reformation Society. It is always an encouragement to Commissioners to have the presence and fellowship of members of the public and we would hope that a goodly number of them will also be able to make their way to Partick.
