Tuesday 25th January 8.00pm - Women for Mission
Stornoway WfM invite all ladies to their next meeting via Zoom on Tuesday 25th January at 8pm.

The speaker is Catriona Macdonald from Govan Free Church, Glasgow. She is going to talk about the work in the church in Govan which was re-established by Rev Norman Mackay seven years ago as a “church plant” in a housing scheme of multiple deprivations overrun with drugs, crime and trauma. 

Come along and hear about this work and pray that the Lord will send a like-minded successor to take over from Norman who retires this month.
