Reception of Students for the Ministry
The Southern Presbytery on 15 March 2011 received Mr Caleb Hembd, of the Santa Fe Congregation, and Mr Iain MacDonald, of the London Congregation, as students for the ministry of the gospel in the Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland. We trust that this is in answer to prayer for the Lord to send forth labourers. Prayer is requested for these men as they engage in preparatory studies with a view to entering upon this work should that be the Lord’s will.

Staffin Manse Appeal.
The building of the new manse at Staffin is now well underway and the congregation is very grateful for all the generous contributions that have been sent in to fund this project. As a sizeable amount of money is still required it has been decided by the Deacons’ Court to make this further appeal, which has been approved by the Western Presbytery. All contributions should be sent to the Congregational Treasurer, Mr Donald Ross, “Windyhill”, Marishadder, Staffin, Isle of Skye, IV51 9JG.
