The Word This Week – 3rd December

Dear Friends in the Northwest

This Sunday is Advent Sunday; there will be a service in Ullapool, which will be followed by the Annual Congregational Meeting. If St Mary’s is ‘your church’, please be there if you can. Also on Advent Sunday, we will have a service of sung Evensong in St Mary’s at the ‘winter’ time of 3.00 p.m. If you would like to stay on after the morning service and meeting until Evensong, soup and rolls will be available at lunchtime. Next Sunday, the second in Advent, there will be a service in Ullapool.

The next Green Screen film is on Wednesday 6th December at 7.30 pm at the Ferry Terminal. Entry is free. Please come and bring your friends (and a cushion and refreshments!). Further details in the Notices section of this website

Our Advent Course this year will be looking at some Icons of Mary. It will be held in St Mary’s at 11.45 a.m. on Wednesdays 6th, 13th and 20th December. If you are unable to attend but would like the notes sent to you, please let me know.

The Scottish Episcopal Church is also offering an Advent Series, The Coming of the Christ, on Mondays at 7pm on YouTube. The Series is free and open to all. Register dr.michael.hull.

Also for Advent is the Diocesan Advent Calendar – a series of daily meditations and prayers entitled Journeying Through Advent. It can be accessed through the following link:
