​
BIBLE HOLIDAY CLUB: As we look forward towards the kid’s holiday bible club this year (Tues 4th-Thurs 6th August), we are thankful for anyone who can help but we are particularly looking for people at this point for the following:
· leading one of three small groups. This will involve planning, organising and running the group from material that is provided (1 person for each)
· up front presentation like leading songs, memory verse, stories or quiz. Again, this will involve planning before hand and leading on the day (2 people minimum)
· planning and organising snacks and games (1 person for each)
· organising the already prepared craft and leading it on the day (1 person)
If you can help with any of these roles, please let us know by this Monday 9th March. It may be the case that if we cannot get people for these roles, we will have to look at an alternative which will be joining with another holiday club. To have it locally would be the best option for the community and for the kids but it can only happen if we have dedicated volunteers to help make it happen!

Let’s “tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, his power, and the wonders he has done." Psalm 78:4
ANNUAL CHURCH MEETING: 7pm Tuesday 24th March in Broadford church
ALPHA COURSE COMING SOON! I’m excited to confirm that we’ll be running an Alpha course in Ardvasar Hall from Monday April 20th for 10/11 weeks. I will soon be looking for volunteers to help run the course and there will be something to involve everyone, not least praying for the sessions as they take place. We’ll be serving a light meal or snacks to start the evening off on a sociable footing, so we’ll need hosts, and small group leaders and pray-ers! So please start praying for anyone you think would benefit from joining this course and we’ll have invitations to give out soon. Please contact me with any suggestions/offers of help/questions! janemcd.aird@gmail.com https://alpha.org.uk/ for more info

COMMUNION is open to all who love Jesus as their Lord. While Church membership used to be the route to taking communion, many churches now recognise that the sacrament of communion is wholly personal, and should take place between you and God. You will not be asked to stand before Session before you can take communion. As a Session, however, we are keen to support you if you would like to chat about it - especially if you are planning to take it for the first time; we can pray about it or find resources that could support you as you take another step in your faith. Please feel free to contact one of your elders at any point.
There is no record of who does and who does not take communion - only a record of who is a member of the Church. They are not the same thing.
We hope you will join us in Broadford and if it is your first time taking communion, our prayer is that you will be blessed in that special moment between you and God, and that any one of the elders would be only too glad to chat with you privately about it.
N.B: The communion bread is always gluten-free and the wine is alcohol-free. And there will be no morning services in other churches this morning.
FAITH MISSION WEEKEND: Thursday 26th February to Sunday 1st March. Details below and see flyer attached.
