Notices - Sunday 23rd July
Free Breakfast @ the Free Church
This year’s Free Breakfast @ The Free Church was another well attended and enjoyable event. Our guests were fed delicious bacon or egg rolls or both! Those with a sweet tooth enjoyed freshly made waffles with fruit and maple syrup. Copious quantities of coffee and tea were consumed and there were muesli bars or cereal for those who preferred a lighter start to their day.
With every breakfast served, food for the soul was also offered in the form of a copy of John’s gospel. Some were gratefully received, others were politely declined. Several of our guests joined with us for church after breakfast and commented positively on the service, included the Gaelic psalm singing, despite rarely attended church.
Some deeply searching conversations were had over breakfast as well as much lighter small talk. As usual, the FREE element of the breakfast is always a conversation starter as it gives us the opportunity to explain why it is free. The fact that it is free, is a fundamental aspect of our Sunday breakfast. It was also lovely to share in fellowship and learn from Christians visiting from other parts of the country.
Many thanks to everyone who contributed towards our successful breakfast. Thanks to those who shopped, distributed flyers, set up the hall, prayed, contributed financially, cooked, served, chatted, walked the streets in the rain and especially those undertook extra duties at short notice.
May God richly bless all that is done in his name.
