Aldershot Presbyterian Church Officially Opened On Sunday Hundreds of guests and members of the Aldershot Presbyterian Church attended official opening of the new Presbyterian Church at Aldershot on Sunday afternoon. Blessed with beautiful weather the impressive and colourful ceremony marked a historic moment for the congregation of the Church. An augmented choir of over fifty voices, sang the opening to the service of dedication, as they slowly took position outside, followed by members of the Presbytery, members of Session and members of the Board of Management. The focal point of the ceremony came when Moderator of the Presbytery, Rev. Mariano Di Gangi, of St. Enoch's Church. Hamilton, knocked three times on the Church door saying "Open to me the gates of righteousness." I will go into them, and I will Praise the Lord". Following the official opening of the doors, the congregation and guests assembled in front of the door, and Miss Grace Watson, oldest member of St. Paul's Church, Hamilton, cut the tape allowing the congregation to pass inside. The Choir led the way singing the 100th Psalm. The call to Worship was then made in the Church by the Minister of the Aldershot Presbyterian Church, Reverend William Black.
