Our 11am service on Sunday is a joint service with the Church of Scotland in Gairloch FC. For any children attending we'll have something provided for them during the service as usual, and the service will be livestreamed through our Facebook Page and then uploaded to our YouTube page later. Refreshments will be served afterwards. There is no 2.30pm service as it's the first Sunday of the month.

The services on 1st January 2023 are at 11am, a joint service with the Church of Scotland folks in Gairloch Free Church, and 5pm as usual.
A reminder that the Community Carol Service is in the Gairloch Community Hall tonight at 6pm which will be followed by tea/coffee and mince pies.
Tomorrow the Christmas Day service in the morning is at 10.30am in the Church of Scotland, led by Stuart, and we'll have the usual evening service at 5pm in the Fellowship area. Alastair will lead this service with readings, a short reflection and carols. Please do come along and take your friends as well. I hope and pray as you wake up to a new day, you would do so in the knowledge that the Lord's grace is sufficient, strengthening and satisfying for whatever he puts on our path for the week ahead. Psalm 23. 5 says, 'Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life', and celebrating the birth of the Good Shepherd is a timely reminder of the hope we have in Him.
