Dear Friends in the Northwest
This Sunday is the twenty-second Sunday after Pentecost. We welcome Fr Malcolm Crook OGS to preach for us in Ullapool and he has kindly provided this week’s reflection. Next Sunday is Remembrance Sunday when the service in Ullapool will be a said service at 9.00a.m. prior to the Service of Remembrance at the Church of Scotland. On Sunday 20th November, Bishop Mark will be preaching and presiding at our services in Ullapool, at which Silas and Caleb Brown will be baptised, and in Achiltibuie.
I am away until Friday 11th November on holiday and then retreat. Fr David will be taking services in Ullapool and providing emergency pastoral cover for the Ullapool and Achiltibuie congregations (07790 032422). Fr John Green will provide emergency pastoral cover for the Lochinver and Kinlochbervie congregations (07929 003361).
On Saturday 19th November, we have the study day at St Mary’s, Ullapool with Bishop Rob Hardwick, beginning at 10 a.m. with refreshments and finishing mid-afternoon. If you would like to attend, please confirm that to me by email or leave a phone message if you have not already done so (space in St Mary’s is somewhat limited and this event is also open to the other congregations in the village). Tea/coffee and biscuits will be provided, as will soup at lunchtime, but please bring your own sandwich. If you have any dietary requirements, please let me know.
With love and prayers
Rev’d Clare
