FAMILIES TOGETHER/TEAGHLAICHEN CÒMHLA: is on this Sunday! For families of all ages, shapes and sizes, we will exploring the question "What is faith?" with an obstacle course and The Chair of Faith. Join us from 3-4 this Sunday afternoon at Broadford Church for fun, fellowship, and a cuppa.
MORAG AT THE FELLOWSHIP 12th MAY: We are looking forward to hearing Morag MacLeod speaking about her work at the Kyleakin Fellowship at 6pm on Sunday 12th May.
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 and we will be developing some new information around Church membership in due course (the national Church of Scotland is currently reviewing this).
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.
FROM THE TREASURER: Just in case you didn't manage to attend our recent Stated Annual Meeting we would like to bring to your attention the following section from the Treasurer's Report: Important extract from the main Report – contributions from the congregation during 2024 need to reflect a minimum increase of 9% to cover ongoing standing costs (not least the recent doubling of our electricity costs), make contributions to the wider sharing church and undertake essential maintenance of the fabric of our churches and manses. I therefore strongly encourage you all to review your monthly or weekly personal offerings to help your church safely through 2024.
HOLIDAY BIBLE CLUB THIS SUMMER:
We are looking towards our Holiday Bible Club in the summer. Please join us if you would like to be part of this year’s team, or help in any way, please contact Timmy or Janette. The dates are still to be confirmed but we are thinking potential dates would be 29th - 31st July. We are hoping to continue with a 3 day event again this year which would be longer days but less of them!! The club needs at least 8 volunteers to run, although more would be great, so even if you can spare just one day to help, that would be amazing.
