Intimations – Sunday 12 November 2017
Our Praise : : Normally at our morning services the items of Praise are taken from Church Hymnary Third Edition (CH3) and those at evening services are taken from Mission Praise (MP).
If you feel more comfortable sitting during the items of praise, please feel free to do so.
Retiral Collection : At the end of the service, as you leave the church, there will be an opportunity to make a donation to The Royal British Legion Scotland. Money raised during the Scottish Poppy Appeal is used to provide vital support to the Armed Forces community living in Scotland.
Please note that this collection is separate from the Offering taken during the service which goes to the work of the church in Portree and beyond.
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.
