Welcome to all who have joined with us in worship this morning, with an especial welcome to any visitors among us.  The stated Annual meeting of the congregation will take place after the service.  At this meeting as well as looking though the accounts, we will consider and take a vote on the idea of changing to working under the Unitary Constitution, so please try to attend if at all possible.

The prayer group meets on Monday at 12.30 p.m. in the vestry.

Rhyme Time meets on Tuesday at 10.15 a.m.

The Lent Study meets on Thursday at 7.30 p.m. in Craigeiro, Church Terr. Newtonmore and on Friday at 2 p.m. at Am Botham, Laggan.

There is a collection of goods for the Syrian refugees being taken from various places in Badenoch.  The nearest collection point is the Newtonmore Grill.  They are looking especially for tents, tarpaulins, sleeping bags, blankets, footwear of all sizes, and warm clothes, but camping cooking gear, hygiene items and almost anything else you can imagine needing in temporary situations would also be appreciated.

Read the sermon for today: Encounters with Jesus - the Blind Man
