Free North Church Inverness
26th April 2015
Welcome! The preacher at our communion service this morning is Rev. Andrew
Macmillan of West Church Inverness. He will also preach in the evening. Ian
Polworth will take the service at Madras Street at 5.00pm.
We are always glad to have visitors at our services. Tea and coffee will be served
in the hall after the morning and evening services. Do wait if you can.
We are a congregation of the Free Church of Scotland.
Together with all Christians, we worship One God –
Father, Son and Holy Spirit – and recognise that only
through faith in Jesus Christ, crucified and risen, can
we receive forgiveness of sin and peace with God.
Jesus Christ is therefore central in all our worship,
as He is to our whole lives.
God made Him who
had no sin to be sin for
us, so that in Him we
might become the
righteousness of God.
2 Corinthians 5:21
We use the New International Version of the Bible (red book) and we sing the
metrical psalms (blue book). We stand to sing and sit to pray. If you wish to give
an offering to the Lord’s work, there are boxes at the front and side doors as you
leave. The service lasts about an hour.
There is a time of prayer before the services at 10.30am and 6.00pm in the hall.
Today
Crèche: children and helpers leave after the second singing to meet upstairs.
Sunday School: children should meet in the hall at 11.00am.
