Sunday 10 November 2019 – Remembrance Sunday
Our Praise : Normally at our morning services the items of Praise are taken from Church Hymnary Third Edition (CH) 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.
