FRIDAY 15th 7pm: PREPARATORY SERVICE in Broadford church

SATURDAY 16th 6pm: PRAYER MEETING in Broadford church

SUNDAY 17th MAY

11am: JOINT PARISH COMMUNION in ELGOL COMMUNITY HALL and zoom 

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.

3pm: GAELIC SERVICE in Kilmore Church

6pm: Kyleakin Fellowship in Kyleakin Church Hall (and zoom)

 

COMMUNION: 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 Elgol 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. 

 

CHRISTIAN AID WEEK: runs this year from 10th -16th May and there will be donation envelopes in all the churches (envelopes may be returned to the plate up until the end of May).
