Call to Rev Calum Murdo Smith

Following the congregational meeting on Wednesday 23^rd March, at which Rev Calum Murdo Smith, (minister at North Uist, Grimsay and Berneray Free Church) was elected as prospective Assistant Minister, a request was sent to the Presbytery to arrange a meeting to sign a Call to Mr Smith.

The Presbytery met on Tuesday 29^th March and appointed Wednesday 20^th April as the date for signing the Call. This meeting will be in the church, Kenneth Street, at 7.30pm.  It is important that as many people as possible attend in person to sign the Call so that the Presbytery can ascertain the level of support for calling Mr Smith.

If you are unable to be present, you can sign a form known as a “mandate” authorising one of the elders to add your name to the Call. Separate mandate forms are used for communicant members and for regular hearers who are not communicants.  For all who are housebound, or just not likely to attend the meeting, your district elder will contact you and encourage for you to sign the relevant Mandate Form.  Please contact your district elder if you have not been contacted by Saturday 9^th April and wish to sign a mandate form or are unsure about any of these matters.

Please pray for Mr Smith and for the congregation in North Uist, as well as for ourselves, that God will make His will clear.
