The service was led by Rev Helen Bridger (St Mary's Episcopal Church) and Rev Catherine Collins (Broughty Ferry New Kirk).
During the service certificates were awarded to eight young poets from Broughty Ferry schools who had submitted entries to the Poetry Competition. Over one hundred children sent in entries on the theme of what they liked about their community. The winners, six of whom are pictured above, read out their entries to an appreciate audience. Interestingly, the beach, the Castle and ice cream from Visocchi's featured prominently in the poems.
Young people also read the old and new testament readings and two pupils from Grove Academy performed a duet for piano and cello.
Local historian Chris Davey also delivered a fascinating short reflection on Broughty Ferry, a Strong Community.
The singing was led by a combined churches choir who also sang the Introit and choral Blessing.
After the service, refreshments were taken in the Church Hall and the Lord Provost cut the commemorative cake.
This ecumenical service was organised by Clergy from Broughty Ferry Churches together with support from our Communities Officer, Carole Jenkins.
