Crèche: There is a crèche in the Church Hall behind the Church if anyone wishes to leave their children there during the morning service.
Crèche: Volunteers for crèche duties are sought to cover days when the regular staff members are unable to attend. If you are able to help with this matter please contact Sandra Beaton or Angela Smith.

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
