Silver Wedding Anniversary Celebration
Following Morning Worship on Sunday 19th July, the congregation of Balintore United Free Church gathered in the Church Hall to celebrate the 25th Wedding Anniversary of our minister, Rev. Scott Cameron, and his wife, Antonia.
On behalf of the congregation, Moira Patterson, whose late husband, Rev. Tom Patterson, was a former minister of Balintore United Free Church, presented Scott and Antonia with a beautiful arrangement of flowers. A specially made anniversary cake, together with gifts, cards and flowers from the congregation, helped make the occasion a memorable one. Robert Allen, our Session Clerk, brought the celebration to a close in prayer, giving thanks to God for His faithfulness over the past twenty-five years and asking for the Lord’s continued blessing upon Scott and Antonia in their family life and ministry.
Scott and Antonia would wish to express their heartfelt thanks to the congregation for the kindness, generosity and love shown to them. They were deeply touched by the thoughtful gifts, cards, flowers and words of encouragement, and are truly grateful to everyone who helped make this significant milestone such a joyful and memorable occasion.
MEET OUR MINISTER
Rev. Scott Cameron serves as the minister of Balintore United Free Church of Scotland. Since August 2024, Scott, along with his wife, Antonia, and their children—Bethany, Daniel, and David have found a warm spiritual home among us.
Originally from the Isle of Skye and a former pupil of Portree High School, Scott's early life was captivated by the music of the highlands and islands. At 16 years of age he became a Senior Scottish Accordion Champion followed by a career as an accordion demonstrator in Aberdeen. However, in October 1989, Scott's life was profoundly transformed by the life-changing message of the Gospel. This new direction led him to pursue training as a lay evangelist in Crieff, followed by theological studies in Aberdeen, where he earned his Master of Arts in 1997 and his Bachelor of Divinity in 2000. After faithfully serving for 22 years in North Ayrshire, Scott returned with his family to the Highlands, settling in Balintore, Easter Ross.
Our minister, his family, and the congregation share a desire to follow Jesus faithfully, to know Him more deeply, and to make Him known more widely. We pray that people across the Seaboard villages would discover the hope, peace, and new life that are found in Jesus Christ alone.
