For years, Church of Scotland members in Gorbals have been praying for a new church building. Despite many hiccups, that building is now nearing completion – ten weeks ahead of schedule. It is located on Cumberland Street at Laurieston Road, back to back with the library building in Crown Street.
Though the copper facing was stolen recently, it has been replaced. The copper that was stolen had unique ID markings which should enable it to be traced – thank God! Till the place is ready for worship, Sunday services are being held in the Skills Academy at Norfolk Street.
