Largs Car Boot Sale

31/05/2026

Bishop Nick is pleased to announce the appointment of the Rev Sean McEwen as Priest-in-Charge of St Columba’s, Largs initially for three years. His licensing will take place on Wednesday, 29th July 2026 at 7pm, the Feast of Martha and Mary of Bethany (white stole).

Sean says, “I am honoured and deeply grateful to be called to serve the wonderful community of St Columba’s, Largs. I look forward to discerning together how God is at work among us, as we grow in prayer, deepen our common life, and bear witness to the risen Christ in the world. I am grateful to the vestry, Dean Reuben, and Bishop Nick for their thoughtfulness and welcome in this process, and I look forward to joining in the life of the Diocese of Glasgow and Galloway and the Scottish Episcopal Church.”

Bishop Nick says, “I am really delighted to welcome Father Sean to the Diocese of Glasgow and Galloway, and to St Columba’s, Largs. It is a joy to receive someone from another part of the Anglican Communion (Diocese of East Tennessee), bringing fresh experience, new perspectives, and a deep commitment to prayer, community and mission. I know that Sean and Lance will find a warm home among us, and I am sure we will have much to learn from one another as this new chapter begins.”

Please pray for Sean and his husband Lance as they prepare to move from the USA in order to come and live and work here in Scotland in the coming months.

You will be the first people to use our newly refurbished hall this Saturday. Unfortunately work is still progressing on our hall toilets, so we have 2 portaloos, one is for disabled and both will be cleaned regularly. Come along and enjoy a bacon roll and home baking.
Please see previous notes for sellers arriving.

We have all the pitches allocated for Saturday 18th April so please do not turn up if you haven't had a confirmed booking as we won't be able to accommodate you. Weather looks like it will be mixed so if you are selling you may wish to bring plastic sheeting to cover your goods and an off-cut of carpet to stand on. Gates open at 7.45am and fees will be collected once everyone is parked up. Please do not block access to the houses in Aubery Crescent. Enjoy your time at St Columba's and in our lovely town. All proceeds from this event will go towards providing a defibrillator to be located at our Church Hall.
