As many villagers will know, parts of Pencaitland Parish Church are in a parlous state. In an effort to address the problems before they get any worse members of the church, along with Minister David Torrance, have launched a programme of events to help to raise \u00a370,000 to make the building wind and watertight before the onset of winter.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
