Sabbath Observance Committee
In these days of increasing Sabbath desecration the work of the Church’s Sabbath Observance Committee becomes increasingly important in maintaining a witness to the obligation of all to “remember the Sabbath Day, to keep it holy” (Ex 20:7). In order to fulfil its task the Committee must be kept informed of Sabbath Observance issues that affect our various communities. The Committee would therefore ask the people of the Church to keep them informed of any local issues of concern by contacting either the Convener: Rev J B Jardine, F P Manse, Manse Road, Tarbert, Isle of Harris, HS3 3DF; or the Clerk: Rev A W MacColl, F P Manse, Swainbost, Isle of Lewis, HS2 0TA.
