Next Sunday, 21st  May, Lochaber Presbytery are holding their own “Heart and Soul event to coincide with the big event in Edinburgh.  Beginning at 2 p.m in Duncansburgh Memorial Church, Fort William, they would be happy to welcome visitors. 

Crossreach is asking us to collect our old-style pound coins.  Boxes for this purpose can be found at the back of the church.

On May 17th, the presbytery is holding a prayer vigil, with 5 centres for prayer being open from 9 a.m. till 9 p.m.  St. Bride’s is one of the 5 centres which will be open for prayer that day, and as a hosting church we are asked to provide cover for the day, so that there is always at least one person here.  There is a sign-up sheet on the board at the rear of the church.  Those who do not sign up are invited to come in at any time to pray for the church’s work in this area.  There will be information and stimuli to prayer provided.
