All welcome. Tea and coffee will be served in the Church Hall after the service. If you wish to attend this event please add your name to the list which can be found in the vestibule.
Holidays : The holiday period is 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.
