Licensed to Preach
At a meeting on 30 November 2004, the Outer Isles Presbytery licensed Mr Donald Macdonald to preach the gospel. The Presbytery wish Mr Macdonald much of the Lord’s blessing in his labours in the vineyard.
(Rev) K D Macleod, Presbytery Clerk
Visits Abroad
In the month of December Rev John MacLeod was to supply the Singapore Congregation for three Sabbaths, and Rev Neil Ross the Congregation in Richmond, Texas, for two Sabbaths. In both places a communion season was to be held. These congregations are most grateful to those ministers, who travel long distances to preach the everlasting gospel to them. It is not often that they obtain supply. Therefore, as well as asking the Lord’s blessing upon the labours of these ministers, pray also that He would give them pastors of their own.
(Rev) D A Ross, Convener, Dominions & Overseas Committee.
