The search is on for a new locum minister for Fairlie and St Columba's Parish Church in Largs.
It is just coming up to twelve months since Sandy McCallum took over from John Purves as Locum Minister for Fairlie and St Columba’s Parish Church in Largs which is a joint linkage.
A Fairlie Parish Church spokesman said: "We are still looking for a minister and so, understandably, and to the disappointment of the congregations, Sandy has now decided to relinquish the role and enjoy his well earned
retirement.
"His last service here at Fairlie will be on 4 November, by which time we should have news of a new locum."
