Intimations

Welcome. Rev Ishie MacDonald will conduct worship for us today.

If you are visiting us, there is a visitors book which we’d be delighted if you would sign – it’s usually in the porch of the main church, but let us know if you can’t find it.

Next week Rev Dr Rory MacLeod (Presbytery Clerk) will conduct worship. 

There will be an Evening Fellowship at the manse (24 Aird – on the Muir of Aird road, Benbecula) at 7pm today.  All welcome.

Thursday 25 July:  Prayer meeting and bible study at 4.30pm in the hall. 

Rev Ishie MacDonald will be away from 25 July to 3 August.  If there are any urgent pastoral issues in her absence please contact one of the elders.

A Pulpit Supply Rota is on the notice boards.

A box is available at the back of the hall for Food Bank contributions. 

If you are able to prepare refreshments after the Sunday service, or provide flowers for the services, or clean the church, please add your name to the rotas on the noticeboard in the hall porch.  Many thanks to those who have served in this way.

Please let Alastair know if you would be willing to attend training and/or volunteer to be on a rota of Audio Visual system operators.

Stamp Appeal:  It has been decided to continue the 2023 Appeal into 2024.  This is to “help the Church of Central Africa Presbyterian (CCAP) improve nutrition, improve agricultural productivity, create youth employment and mitigate the impact of the climate crisis. The CCAP project, Firmly Planted aims to establish self-sustaining tree nurseries to nurture and protect the environment and protect livelihoods for households and communities.”  Box in the porch for your stamps.

Some of the pews are due to be removed from the church in the autumn after services revert to the hall.  If you would like one or more of them to reuse please let Colin or Roddy know.  Donations welcome, but discretionary.
