Portree Parish Church
A welcoming congregation
Based in Somerled Square in the centre of Portree, Portree Parish Church has been welcoming visitors since 1854. Built initially as a Free Church, the building became a United Free Church in 1900 before becoming part of the Church of Scotland in 1929.
We aim to be a welcoming, inclusive community and to respond to local needs in a variety of ways. Our hall is also functional space for hire in the centre of the village and used by many groups including the local food bank.
We look forward to welcoming you.
Mission
Compassion UK is a Christian charity based on child sponsorship which is Christ centred, Church driven and Child focused.
Portree Parish Church Sunday School is starting with sponsoring a child so they can write to the child, sharing information about their daily lives and getting to know about the child’s life, family and community.
Sunday services update
Sunday morning services commence at 11am and evening services commence at 6pm
All are also welcome to the weekly Bible Study and Prayer Meeting in the church on Tuesdays at 7pm.
Covid : While Covid is still present in the community, the majority of our congregation are now fully vaccinated against the virus.
The Kirk Session and Congregational Board have decided that we can now relax our previous strong recommendation that face coverings should be worn in the church.
The wearing of these face coverings will now be a matter of personal choice.
The cleaning and disinfecting regime in the church will continue, but at a reduced frequency. It will still be sanitised before each Sunday worship.
The Minister is available by telephone on 01478 611 868 for information, prayers, comfort or any possible help needed.
Online daily worship is available on the SANCTUARY FIRST website.
Please contact the minister should funeral arrangements be required.
Above all, remember :
GOD IS OUR REFUGE AND OUR STRENGTH
AND EVER PRESENT HELP IN TROUBLE
So, BE STILL AND KNOW THAT HE IS GOD (Psalm 46)
