Aid to Nepal : The Sunday School, Youth Fellowship and Crèche Coffee Morning last Sunday raised a wonderful sum of £492.09. Grateful thanks are extended to our young people and their leaders for all their work.
In addition, a total of £737.30 was raised through the retiral collections. This is a tremendous achievement and once more demonstrates the generosity of our congregation.
Crèche: There is a crèche in the Church Hall behind the Church if anyone wishes to leave their children there during the morning service.
Sunday School and Youth Fellowship meet every Sunday during the school term. They meet initially in the Church before moving to the Church Hall.

Next Sunday. These collections will go towards the costs of major projects in our church buildings
Holidays : The holiday period will soon be upon us and members of the congregation will be visiting many different parts of the country. If anyone visits a church elsewhere and finds that, like Portree Parish Church, spare copies of a magazine are available to visitors then the Magazine Committee would be extremely grateful to receive a copy. These can provide ideas for future articles in our own magazine
Any magazines obtained can be placed in the Magazine Folder in the Front Vestibule.
