SOUP AND SANDWICH FUNDRAISING LUNCH: This Sunday, 22nd MARCH – Straight after the morning service, in Kyleakin Church Hall. This is to raise funds for the Uganda trip in the Summer. Timmy is taking a group of young people (2 from Kyleakin Church) on a trip to Uganda where they will be helping in a building project. We have enough soup, but if you can bring sandwiches, please let Janette know: janette.timmy@gmail.com – 07415112820
But most importantly, please join us. Everyone welcome!
24 PRAYER FOR PEACE: We’re going to do the 24 prayer for peace again as we did last year during Lent. I think this is needed more than ever and especially for the Holy Land which has been driven off front page news by the Iranian Conflict. We have a link with a Christian group in Bethlehem and the situation in Gaza and the West Bank has seriously deteriorated since the Iran conflict began. As last year, most church denominations across the Island and Lochalsh have agreed to take part again.
Hopefully people will be happy to join this ecumenical initiative again. If so, can parishioners add their name to the sheet in each church, at a time that suits them. It will be the same as last time with 20 minute segments between Midnight Fri 27th and Midnight Sat 28th March. It doesn’t matter if we have multiple people praying at the same time. People can pray for several segments if they so wish.
John Taylor, St Maolrubha’s, Broadford

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!
