This is the third Sunday of Easter; there will be services in Ullapool and Achiltibuie. Next weekend, there will be a service in Kinlochbervie on Saturday, and services in Ullapool and Lochinver on Sunday.
I am pleased to tell you that donations from the North West Charge to the Bishop’s Lent Appeal for the Episcopal Church in The Philippines were and amazing £555. Thank you all for your generosity. It will help to make a difference to the lives of some of the poorest people in the world.
The collection for the Middle East Humanitarian Appeal at this year’s Praise on the Pier came to £440. Again thank you to everyone who contributed for your generosity.
If you are in Ullapool or not to far away, I would like to draw your attention to the next Starling Café in the Macphail Centre on Thursday 30th April. The theme for this session is ‘Making and remaking home in times of change’ led by Azadeh Fatehrad who will be considering what home means for us and how we might think about it differently in these times of change in the world.

Advance notice that I will be on holiday from the evening of Sunday 26th April through to and including Monday 4th May, and I will be at a meeting in Inverness on Tuesday 5th May so won’t be back here until that evening. Arrangements for while I am away will be in next week’s newsletter.
With love and prayers
Rev’d Clare
