Over the Rainbow

sheumais Events, Local, News

Lairg Christians Together held a Rainbow Light Party on Friday in Lairg Community Centre, at which about 40 children (difficult to count them all in the dark:-), plus helpers and parents, enjoyed a splendid time.  It really was fun for everyone!!

Light Parties have been held by churches with the help of Scripture Union teaching materials. They’re focused on offering an alternative message around the time of what many people associate as Halloween.  The idea is that as a church we give out a more positive message at this time with teaching about ‘Jesus the Light of the World‘.

Our Light Party had a ‘Rainbow ‘ theme remembering God’s covenants with His people.  We had bible teaching, games, crafts and, like any good party, lots of party food. A wonderful celebration of Jesus being the light in the darkness and about us being called to follow him. A really encouraging message in place of all the ghouls and monster type stuff that’s on offer in the shops at the moment.

Crask dedicated to St Trolla

sheumais Crask, Events, News

At today’s service of commissioning and dedication at the Crask Inn, Bishop Mark dedicated this community of worship, welcome and spirituality to St Trolla.  St Trolla (or Triduana) lived in the 7-8th centuries and is thought by some to have been one of several abbesses who accompanied St Regulus to Scotland when he brought the relics of St Andrew from Constantinople. She is also thought to have accompanied St Boniface on his mission to Pictland in AD 715.  St Trolla is commemorated in two places in East Sutherland, including St Trolla’s Chapel at Loth near Brora.

It was a splendid gathering of nearly 80 people who shared worship, fellowship and a wonderful spread lovingly prepared by Douglas and his team.  Bishop Mark dedicated the Crask for its twin tasks of welcome and hospitality and worship and spirituality and in so doing he sprinkled holy water at the entrance and in the principal rooms.

After which we celebrated The Eucharist:

All those involved in planning and ensuring the smooth running of a memorable occasion are to be congratulated (including fixing such glorious weather), +Mark, Denise and Douglas and their band of helpers – well done:-)

will be speaking at a meeting in the

Kinvonvie Suite, Lairg Community Centre,

(rear entrance from carpark)

“Come and be inspired by what God is doing in the middle of the jungle in Borneo, where Ronny and his team are building facilities to provide accommodation for 1,000 neglected children and schools for 2,000 children from primary to high school level. They are also building a nursery, workers’ and teachers’ accommodation, a training centre, a praise and worship centre, a clinic, a bakery, sewing rooms, visitors’ quarters, a radio station for outreach and a Bible College.

Apart from children having their physical needs met and receiving an education, they are also fed and trained spiritually, so that they can return to their villages as well as go into other villages that are unreached, plant churches and bring the gospel to their people.”

All are very welcome.
