The Sunday morning service was conducted by Rev Andrew Rooney. The preacher in the evening was Rt Rev Colin Sinclair, Moderator of the Church of Scotland General Assembly; Church members assisted in worship through the of leading prayers and readings. The congregation included people from other churches and the evening ended with refreshments and fellowship in the large hall. As part of his week’s visit to Lanark Presbytery, Colin and his wife Ruth called in to Second Chance when they chatted to volunteers and customers. It was clear that they were impressed both by the ethos of the undertaking and the way it was presented.
