SERVICES AND MIDWEEK MEETINGS

While we are all being asked to 'stay home', there will be no services or other meetings anywhere in the parish. Instead we are meeting for live online services. The weekly church notices (with details of how to link in) are being sent by email. If you are not receiving these, and would like to be added to the church email lists, please email Lesley at lesleyinskye@yahoo.co.uk.

​

SUPPORT

If you are having to self-isolate and need shopping or anything else, please get in touch with one of your elders and we'll make sure people are matched with those who can do shopping for them. Equally, if you know of anyone who might be on their own and needing help.

​

PRAYER

Please pray for all those who are on their own or anxious, and for those in the emergency services working on the front line. And let us all not worry our selves but put our trust in God.

Philippians 4:6 says...

Do not worry about anything, but pray and ask God for everything you need, always giving thanks.

​

KEEPING IN TOUCH

There are plans to help us all keep in touch, including...

• A daily blog - Minister's blog

• A weekly sermon - here 

• Our own Youtube channel - here.

In John 8:12 Jesus said, “I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won’t have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life.”

​

And in the crosses we made the only way the light can shine through the darkness is through the cross. Thank you to everyone who sent me a photo of the crosses of light that they'd made and put in their windows.
