Suicide Prevention Consultation

The Scottish Government and the Convention of Scottish Local Authorities (COSLA) would like to hear views to help finalise Scotland’s new Suicide Prevention Strategy and Action Plan which will be published in September 2022.

Suicide prevention is everyone’s business, and our ambition is a Scotland where everyone works together to prevent suicide.

This consultation will run for six weeks, until midnight on Tuesday 23 August and, asks for views and comments on a draft of the Strategy and a draft of the Action Plan.

The consultation will be hosted via Citizen Space, the Scottish Government’s online consultation platform. You can access the consultation using this link: https://consult.gov.scot/mental-health-unit/suicide-prevention-strategy-for-scotland

You may also wish to read the consultation document which contains the same questions as the online version but provides you with the option to respond ‘offline’. That document can be accessed using this link:

Thank you from God is Good Africa

Kenny John and the G.I.G.A. team sincerely thank all who supported their lunches this week. The amazing amount of over £5000.00 was raised which will be used to support the children and students in schools and colleges who are suffering difficult times of famine at this time, with many deaths in the area. May God continue to bless you.  Psalm 16

Friday 1^st July – Induction Service.
The induction of Rev Calum Murdo Smith will be held in the Kenneth Street church on Friday 1^st July at 7.00pm.  Rev Malcolm Macleod, Shawbost, will preach and preside. 

Due the current prevalence of Covid throughout the community the whole service, including presentations and welcoming speeches, will be held in the church and can be viewed live on YouTube - (Channel name - Stornoway Free Church). A good in-person attendance at the service would be big encouragement to the Smith family. 

Anyone who still wishes to contribute to the presentation should do as soon as possible. 

There will be light refreshments available in the M.A. Hall after the service with an opportunity to meet the Smith family. If you wish to donate sweet or savoury food please contact Donna Maciver on 07810 386774 or email [email protected].  

Please continue to pray for Mr Smith, his wife Johan and their children, Joni, Marissa, and Danny as they settle into the congregation.  Pray also that the new ministry will be abundantly blessed by God to the spiritual nourishing of His people and to an in-gathering of those who are still strangers to His grace.
