Scots' Church Celebrates 150 Years of Architectural and Spiritual Legacy

MELBOURNE, Australia - Oct. 17, 2024 - PRLog -- "This anniversary is more than just a celebration of a building. It's about recognising the enduring values that have sustained us for 150 years," Mr Campbell said.

"Scots' is full of history and full of life and we want to invite everyone in the community to join us as we honour that legacy and look forward to the future."

To mark this milestone, Scots' Church will host a series of events that invite the broader community to join in the celebration:
