On the 5th and 6th of March, the new Stained Glass Windows were installed which commemorate the union to form Bennochy Parish Church.
The 11th March saw a new Memorial Service introduced in the afternoon which invited all the family and friends connected with Bennochy Church, the Parish or whose funeral had been conducted by the minister over the previous year.
The new Bennochy Stained Glass Windows were dedicated during a special service on 18th March. Many guests including the designer Shona McInnes, relatives of the benefactors and previous ministers associated with the building were present. The afternoon sun shone brightly to show the windows to best effect.

Each Church presented its own stand with photographs of Church life and information about the Church, its people and activities. The main hall hosted the exhibitions along with ad-hoc singing groups and choirs. At the end of the day a closing worship was held including a Presbytery wide Choir and Praise Band. In the classrooms, various workshops were held with Bennochy providing a video on the new stained glass windows and a talk on website design. In the staff room a special show of items related to Jenny Featherstone and her work in Zambia was presented.
