Dear Friends in the Northwest
This Sunday is the fifth Sunday in Lent, traditionally known as Passion Sunday; there will be a service in Ullapool. Next Sunday is Palm Sunday. The full list of services for Palm Sunday, Holy Week and Easter can be found in the News and Notices section of this website. Bishop Mark and Jane will be joining us for our services from the Wednesday evening of Holy week through to Easter Day.
The last in-person session of Lent course this year, Hope in Hard Places, is on Sunday at 11.30 a.m. in St Mary’s.
The diocese is offering a short daily reflection on the theme of ‘Prayer’ throughout Lent. These can be found at https://www.facebook.com/mrc.diocese/.
A reminder that the Bishop’s Lent Appeal this year is to support The Jerusalem and Middle East Churches Association appeal for the Al Ahli Hospital in Gaza. Contributions for the Lent Appeal should be put in an envelope labelled ‘Bishop’s Lent Appeal’ and passed to me, or placed in the collection plate at one of our services, by Easter.
A reminder for the Ullapool congregation (though others are welcome if they wish!), that on Saturday 12th April at 10.00 a.m., we will be undertaking the annual spring clean of the church in preparation for Easter – many hands make light work!
With love and prayers
Rev’d Clare
