Death

We were very sorry to hear of the passing of Chrissie Macleod, formerly of Seaforth House and Morrison Avenue. Chrissie was 97 and became a Christian in the early 1950s during a time of revival in the Island.

We remember her family and friends at this time, especially her nieces and nephews, Mairi, Anna, Seonaid, Iain (Stornoway), Roddy, John and Iain (Inverness) asking the Lord to comfort them all.

Renfrew Kids Camp 5^th to 12^th July - Updated Prayer Points

‘Adopt a Camp’, is a way that individual churches are linked up with congregations. Stornoway Free Church is linked with Renfrew Kids.

Renfrew Kids is for children in P5-P7.

Please pray for the following:

1. That we will put the right campers together in dorms. This makes such a difference to sleep, and the feel of camp. We don’t know the campers, but God does, pray that we will put together dorms that will allow for good sleep.
2. We have short morning talks, where a leader will talk about someone who has helped them as a Christian. This allows the campers to really connect with what Christianity is for now, and not just the past.
3. Our long-time organiser of music is not with us this year. We have several great musicians. Pray that they will be able to help the kids with sung praise to God.
4. The main talks are being undertaken by a variety of leaders, please pray for them: Paula on Saturday, Deuan on Sunday, Alan on Monday, Mairi on Tuesday, Alan on Wednesday, Paula on Thursday, Deuan on Friday.
