After Morning Worship Fellowship :
After our Morning Worship today, Tea , Coffee, and Juice, 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.
Sunday Evening Services :
Evening services are held in the church each Sunday and commence at 6.00 pm.
Sunday School :
The Sunday School is now closed for the summer holiday period. Classes will resume on Sunday 23 August.
Ladies’ Bible Study Group :
The Ladies’ Bible Study Group is now closed for the summer holiday period. Meetings of the group will restart on Tuesday 25 August.
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.
New Communicant Members :
Any Adherent who would wish to become a full communicant member of the church should speak to the Minister at the end of the service or contact him by telephone. We would dearly love to see more Adherents take up full communicant membership of the church.
Church Magazine – Summer Edition:
When you are not out basking in the wonderful summer weather on Skye, you might turn your thoughts to the annual request for contributions to the Summer edition of the Church Magazine
As usual, articles can, for example, be on a favourite hymn or passage from the Bible, your favourite poem (or one of your own) a famous or less famous person, or any topic that you think would be of interest to those reading the magazine.
Contributions can be handwritten or typed and can be placed in the red magazine folder in the Front Vestibule. If articles are typed it would be appreciated if these could be emailed directly to wwm74marl@hotmail.com
We hope to publish this edition by Sunday 23 August, so contributions should be submitted please by next Sunday, 09 August.
Holidays :
We are now in the holiday season 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 I would be extremely grateful to receive a copy. These can provide ideas for future articles in our own magazine
Any magazines obtained can be placed in the Magazine Folder in the Front Vestibule.
Praise Evening Get Together:
Kilmuir and Stenscholl Church will come together with Portree Church for a Praise Evening to be held in Staffin Church at 6.00 pm on Sunday 23 August.
It is hoped that as many as possible will attend this service and to this end we hope that transport can be provided for those without cars.
This service will obviously replace our normal Evening Worship on that date.
