Healthy Gospel Gatherings
A Healthy Gospel Church for Every Community in Scotland is the aim of a series of gatherings being planned across Presbyteries of the Free Church during 2023 and you are invited to attend. The hope is to bring together as many members of our congregations as possible for a time of input and discussion, with a focus on hearing and sharing views and ideas.

Safe Families.
Some of you will have been at our Congregational Fellowship a few months ago to hear Catherine Macdonald speak about 'Safe Families' which has now launched in the Western Isles. Safe Families is a Christian family support charity which seeks to link local volunteers to families who are isolated and struggling. Safe Families was one of the projects supported by the WFM project last year. As Christians we are called to love the marginalised in our community and this is a very practical way of showing Christ’s love in action.
Safe Families provide excellent training and support. Volunteers can be linked to children or parents depending on suitability. Even a few hours a month can make a real difference in the life of a child or parent.
If you want to volunteer please go to the Safe Families website and click on the 'get involved' and 'volunteer' button and then 'volunteer sign up' and you will be invited to your first online training module and then one of the local staff will be in touch and will talk you through the training process.

The Scotland Programme Manager for Safe Families, Andy Murray, is with us today and will be available to chat to anyone in the hall afterwards if you have any more questions or want more information. The local team can be contacted at The Shed on [email protected]
