11th January, 2026 - Holy Baptism

It was a wonderful service in St Bride’s this morning as two children were baptised, witnessed by family, friends and the church family. Rev. John McClure welcomed the Dubois family and their friends to the church for this very important day in the lives of their children. The boy was baptised Bobbie Hunter and the little girl was baptised Millie Jeanette following which Rev. John took both them up the aisle as he welcomed them into the church. The children are pictured above with their parents, big brother Freddie, godparents, grandfather and Rev. John McClure.

4th January, 2026 - Winter has Arrived!

St Bride’s was generously coated in a blanket of snow this morning as church wardens arrived to open up ahead of the first communion service of 2026. It was certainly bitterly cold outside but warm and cosy inside the church. Many local churches decided to cancel services this morning given the weather conditions but the service went ahead in Kilbride and a reasonable number of parishioners was able to make the journey on roads that were largely clear where gritters had been.
