INTIMATIONS
Covid :
While Covid is still present in the community, the majority of our congregation are now fully vaccinated against the virus.
At the last joint meeting of the Kirk Session and Congregational Board it was felt that we could now relax our previous strong recommendation that face coverings should be worn in the church.
The wearing of these face coverings will now be a matter of personal choice.
The cleaning and disinfecting regime in the church will continue, but at a reduced frequency. It will still be sanitised before each Sunday worship.
November Communion :
The Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper will be celebrated during both services today.
Individual disposable glasses and a sealed container of wine will be set out at each pew seat.
Home Communion :
If any communicant member of the congregation is unable to attend worship and would wish to take communion at home the Minister is very happy to arrange this. Please contact him regarding this matter.
We would ask other members of the congregation to inform any communicant member they know of this available provision.
Sunday Evening Services :
Evening services are held in the church each Sunday and commence at 6.00 pm.
Ladies’ Bible Study Group :
The Ladies’ Bible Study Group meets in the Hall at 10.30 am each Tuesday. The group will be delighted to welcome any new ladies who would want to join them in fellowship and friendship.
Bible Study & Prayer Fellowship Services :
These services are held in the Church at 7.00 pm each Tuesday evening. All are invited to attend.
Pastoral Visits : The Minister asks that he be kept informed of any member of the congregation who is ill, in hospital or would welcome a visit from him.
Sunday School : Those young people attending Sunday School will stay in the church for the first part of the service before moving up to the Church Hall.
If required, a creche facility will be available.
Church Magazine – Christmas Edition :
It’s only 5 weeks to Christmas ! What is Christmas without Carols, Turkey and the Portree Church magazine !
Please, please, please let us have YOUR contributions for this edition. They can be as long or as short as you like and on any topic.
As usual, contributions can be place in the red folder on the wall of the Front Vestibule or sent to me at wwm74marl@hotmail.com
Publication date will be Sunday 11 December so it would be wonderful if your contributions were received before Sunday 4 December.
Retiral Offering for November :
A Retiral Offering will be taken at the end of both services next Sunday, 27 November.
This collection will go towards the costs of major projects in our church buildings.
Poppy Scotland : The collection in aid of Poppy Scotland which was taken at the end of the Remembrance service last Sunday raised a total of £361.87
