February Communion Services
The Lord’s Supper is due to be observed at the morning services on Sunday 16th February 2025. The visiting ministers expected are Rev Roddy John Campbell, retired, for the Gaelic services, and Rev David Macleod, North Harris, for the English services.
The Kirk Session will be opened on Wednesday 12th in the Seminary after the service that evening. Thereafter the Session will meet in the Kenneth Street Session Room after each of the services on Friday and Saturday, apart from Saturday morning when it will meet in the Seminary Session room.
As always, any who wish to take communion for the first time are invited to meet with the Session at any of the occasions above. The ministers and elders are also most willing to speak at any point over the next couple of weeks with anyone who has thoughts of taking communion for the first time.
The 8.00 morning prayer meetings will be led by elders. A more detailed outline of services and times will be made available next week.
Please pray that God’s blessing will be evident throughout these services and that as a congregation we will be encouraged and uplifted. Pray also for the ministers expected.
