Eilean Siar Foodbank

The Eilean Siar Foodbank are asking for donations of pasta, curry sauces, fruit, puddings, rice, juices, long life milk, cereals, biscuits, coffee and toiletries please.

Anyone in the congregation who can donate any of these items is asked to drop the items off on Mondays between 11.00am and 1.30pm at the Eilean Siar Foodbank in the Golf Club or at Charlie Nicolson’s garage at 20 James Street.

The Eilean Siar Foodbank thanks all those in the congregation who support the foodbank, and also for the financial support from Stornoway Free Church to help families and individuals in our community who need support.

 

Free Breakfast @ the Free Church

We give thanks to God for being able to resume this event once more. It fulfilled an identified need in our community and also provided a valuable outreach opportunity. We thank God for the anonymous financial donation from within our congregation which covered all costs, for all those who prayed and for the tourists who returned to us for the third year who still have big questions about the Bible. We are also thankful to God for those who “randomly” happened to be walking by our front gates and were invited in.

We ask God to be with those who shared their stories of heartache. We rejoice about those who left straight after eating their breakfast to go and get their friends to bring them back to attend our church service. We pray that the words preached, prayed and sung that morning will live on in the hearts and minds of those who heard them.  We pray that those who chose to accept a gospel book that morning will dig it out from the bottom of their rucksacks and open it.

We’re looking forward to next year already! Hebrews 13: 2

 

Using the Kenneth Street Church Car Park:  To maximise the space available in Kenneth Street church car park, it would be greatly appreciated if drivers could adhere to the following:

1. When parking in the lanes, please try to park as close as possible to the car in front. In the lane nearest the church there is no need to avoid the ‘Keep Clear’ area which is only intended for weekday use.

 

1. As the lanes fill, drivers are reminded that the striped area at the top of the car park should be used for parking and doing so will give space for an additional 6 – 8 cars. The purpose of the striped area is to facilitate turning when the car park is used for public parking between Monday and Saturday.  On Sundays, everyone attending services arrives and leaves at roughly the same time so there is no need whatsoever to avoid parking within the striped area.

 

1. Drivers who are remaining for tea after the morning service should check that their cars are not preventing others from exiting the car park.
