Dear Friends in the Northwest
Happy New Year! This Sunday is Advent Sunday, and the beginning of the new church year. This Sunday and next, there will be a service in the morning in St Mary’s Ullapool. This Sunday, there will also be a service of sung Evensong at the ‘winter’ time of 3.00 p.m. in St Mary’s.
As previously notified, the Annual Congregational Meeting of St Mary’s Ullapool will take place this Sunday, 1st December, after our usual service. Papers for this meeting and details of positions that need to be filled have been circulated. If you are part of St Mary’s congregation, please try to attend this important meeting. If you would like to stay on after the morning service and meeting, soup and rolls will be available at lunchtime.
Our Advent Course this year will be looking at the Canticles of Luke – the songs associated with the Christmas story which are recorded in Luke’s Gospel and still used in worship today. We will meet in St Mary’s at 11.40 a.m. on Wednesdays 4th, 11th and 18th December. If you are unable to attend but would like the notes sent to you, please let me know.
On Monday 9th December, the monthly Bible study group will meet at 5.00 p.m. at Joy’s house.
With love and prayers
Rev’d Clare
