Friday 8 August- Blythswood shoebox wrapping session
Over the years many people in the congregation have filled or contributed to the Blythswood Christmas shoebox appeal and we thought this year it would be good if we could do this as a joint effort.
We’re starting with a shoebox wrapping session on Friday, 8 August, at 2pm in the church hall when there will be a demo on wrapping the boxes and we can see how many we manage to do. We’ll have light refreshments to follow.
If you have an empty box and any Christmas paper you can bring it along but we have supplies of what we’ll need so just bring yourself if you would like to help.
We”ll be giving more information about the shoebox appeal on Sunday 24 August when we plan to have a focus on the work of Blythswood, followed by a simple lunch in the church hall.
Do come along and join in if you can. Any help with wrapping and filling the boxes will be much appreciated, and it will be fun!

PORTREE PARISH CHURCH OF SCOTLAND

INTIMATION

Notice is hereby given that Clèir Eilean Ì has received a Call from the congregations of Portree, Kilmuir and Stenscholl addressed to Rev Rebeccah Jepchumba Bartocho to be the new minister. This Call has been sustained as a regular Call, and has been accepted by her.

The Presbytery, having judged the said Rev Rebeccah Jepchumba Bartocho qualified for this charge, has resolved to proceed to her induction on Saturday 28 June 2025 at 2.00 pm, at Staffin Church.

The only circumstance in which this would not occur is if an objection occurs which may reasonably impede it.

Notice is given that if any member of the congregations of Portree and Kilmuir and Stenscholl has objection to the life or doctrine of the said Rev Rebeccah Jepchumba Bartocho you should intimate your objection at the earliest opportunity to the Presbytery Clerk. If you do this, you will also need to submit to the Presbytery Clerk appropriate evidence to substantiate your objection.

The Presbytery is to meet at 1.45pm on 28 June 2025. If an objection is not notified in advance but is first brought at that meeting the objector must satisfy the Presbytery that there was no earlier opportunity to bring the objection to the attention of the Presbytery Clerk.

Unless a substantiated objection is made which is then upheld, the Presbytery shall proceed to the induction of the said Rebeccah Jepchumba Bartocho without further delay.

By order of the Presbytery,

W Stewart Shaw DL, Presbytery Clerk
