John Retires from Parish Ministry
Article date: 21 April 2025
Sunday, 20th April, was our minister John’s last service before he retires from parish ministry. John has been the minister at Cadder for the last 8 years, and he and his wife, Susan, have been a huge blessing to us during this time.
Cadder has grown to what it is today thanks to John’s vision, leadership and ability to reach out and connect with people. He has been instrumental in developing the Cadder Growth Teams, based on the 5 Marks of Mission, and has worked tirelessly to support and nurture these teams. They manage all aspects of our church life, and their work has resulted in the busy and vibrant church community that we have today.
Whilst we are sad to see John and Susan leave Cadder, we give thanks for their service and dedication to serving God and our church community, and for leaving us in a very healthy position!
Although retiring from parish ministry, John will be taking up the role of pastoral assistant at St Paul’s Church of Scotland in Milngavie and Baldernock from 1st June. We wish him every success in his new role.
We will invite John and Susan back in the autumn to say a proper thank you and farewell. Details will be shared on the website when confirmed.
Going Forward
Discussions are now underway on the next steps for ministry at Cadder. This process will take some time, but updates will be shared in church and on our website when we have news to share. In the meantime, we’ll welcome visiting ministers each Sunday to lead us in worship.
