Intimations – Sunday 23 August 2015

After Morning Worship Fellowship : After Morning Worship today     Tea , Coffee, Juice and biscuits will be served in the Church. Please stay behind for as long or short a time as you can manage and enjoy a time of fellowship with other members of the congregation and with visitors to our church.

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 Classes resume today following the Summer holiday break. The groups meet every Sunday during the school term.   They meet initially in the Church before moving to the Church Hall.

The Ladies’ Bible Study Group The group meetings resume on Tuesday 25 August following the Summer holiday break.

The Prayer Fellowship meet in the Church Hall at 7.00 pm each Tuesday evening   All are welcome to attend.

New Communicant Members :   Any Adherent who would wish to become a full communicant member of the church should speak to the Minister at the end of the service or contact him by telephone. We would dearly love to see more Adherents take up full communicant membership of the church and take Communion on Sunday 15 November.

In recent weeks two members of the congregation have come forward for baptism and to make their profession of faith. This was carried out in the church during the week with only the minister, Susan and some elders present. Please do not think that vows need to be given in front of the whole congregation

Portree Church Magazine : Although the next edition of the magazine will not be published until late November / early December, it is never too soon to submit articles, prayers, stories etc. These may be placed in the Magazine Folder in the Front Vestibule. Articles may also be emailed to Trevor Dee at trevordee@btinternet.com or Jon Farr at jonfarr90@btinternet.com

Church Magazines: If any members of the congregation are visiting different parts of the country and visit a church and find 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.

Kirk Session : A meeting of the Kirk Session will be held in the Manse at 7.30 pm on Thursday 27 August. Minutes and Agenda are available in the Front Vestibule
