Post by St Columba's Church of Scotland

Some stories have a wonderful way of coming full circle. When the Revd Donald Macleod became the very first minister of St Columba's, Pont Street in 1884, he could never have imagined that, more than a century later, his own family would still be part of the story. Today, our minister, the Revd Angus MacLeod, continues that remarkable legacy. Angus's great grandfather was the very first minister of St Columba's. It's a beautiful reminder that while generations come and go, the calling of this church remains the same: to be a place of worship, welcome and belonging for the Scottish community in London and for all who walk through our doors. There's something rather special about that connection across the generations. It reminds us that St Columba's isn't just a building. It's a living story, shaped by the people who have worshipped, served and found a home here over the past 140 years. Did you know about this remarkable family connection? If you have memories of ministers past, or stories about your own connection with St Columba's, we'd love to hear them in the comments.
