Dear Friends in the Northwest
This Sunday is the second Sunday in the Season of Creation. This Sunday, there will be a service in Ullapool, and next Sunday, there will be services in Ullapool and Achiltibuie. At Achiltibuie, we will be keeping Harvest Festival.
Art Week continues in Ullapool until this Sunday, 13th September, including Joanna Wright’s exhibition Flowers for Palestine in St Mary’s Church and at The Ceilidh Place. These artworks are for sale, with all proceeds going to support families in Gaza.
The monthly Bible Study Group will meet on Monday 14th September at 5.00 p.m. at Joy’s house. The group will be continuing to look at the shorter letters of the New Testament.
We will be celebrating Harvest Festival at our services in Achiltibuie on Sunday 20th September, in Kinlochbervie on Saturday 26th September, in Lochinver on Sunday 27th September and in Ullapool on Sunday 4th October. The Highland Foodbank have particularly requested the following items this year: tinned ham, UHT milk, long-life juice, tinned meat (mince, stew etc.), tinned fruit, crackers/oatcakes, washing up liquid, toiletries, carrier bags.
The Diocesan Mission Conference will take place on Saturday 24th October from 11 a.m. – 3.30 p.m. at Inverness Cathedral. The main speaker is Rev’d Canon Paul Watson who is Diocesan Missioner in the Diocese of Argyll & the Isles, and there will be workshops, stalls and resources. Anne will be attending (I have a service in Kinlochbervie that day). If anyone would like to accompany her, please let us know.
We have a stray grey check tea towel that possible came round some of the food for Anne’s ordination. If you have lost it, please let me know and I will get it back to you.
With love and prayers
Rev’d Clare
