CONGRATULATIONS

To Patsy Thomson and Ann Nowicki who have recently completed a ‘Training in Spiritual Direction’ course at the Coach House, Kilmuir. Want to know more about what was involved? Why not ask Patsy or Ann?

 

A GENEROUS GIFT

We say a big thank you to Lord Gough for his recent very generous financial gift to our congregation. Among possible uses for these funds being considered are some alterations to the lay-out at St Anne’s. A small team from St Anne’s is looking hard at what might be possible and such possibilities will be brought to the congregation for full discussion in due course.

 

THANK YOU

To Kit and Janet Bowen for their generous hospitality for the recent BBQ at Kinellan and to all who helped them. Thank you too to all who helped organise the recent Whist Drive. Also thanks to those who helped spread the new chippings outside St Anne’s – it has made a big improvement to the church entrance.

 

CONFIRMATION

A reminder that Bishop Mark will be joining us for a service of confirmation on Sunday 29 August at 11 a.m. at St. James’. Please pray for those preparing for confirmation.

 

BEN WYVIS

Many people have expressed interest in being part of the gentle, accompanied climb up Ben Wyvis. We hope that this will take place on Saturday 21 August although this will obviously be weather dependent. Those who have expressed interest will be contacted directly regarding arrangements. If anyone has walking poles they would be prepared to lend to participants for the day please have a word with Ian.
