Welcome Home

Rev Dr John and Mrs Elizabeth Ross recently returned from South Africa where they were serving at Dumisani Bible Institute. A Welcome Home evening has been arranged for them in Greyfriars Free Church, Inverness, on Thursday 12 January at 7.30 pm. Because of this, there will be no prayer meeting in Nairn Free Church that night.

Christmas and New Year

On 25 January 2011 and 1 January 2012 there will be a service at 11 am in Nairn Free Church. Those wishing to attend an evening service are warmly invited on both occasions to the service in Smithton-Culloden Free Church at 6 pm.

The prayer meetings on 22 December and 5 January will be held in the church at 11 am. The prayer meeting on 29 December will be at 7.30 pm, also in the church.

The Youth Club and the Rosebank Café will resume on Wednesday 11 January.

May you know the rich blessing of Christ over the Christmas and New Year period, and on into 2012.

Open Doors morning

Everyone is welcome to come and see the inside of our refurbished church building on Saturday 12 November. Especially anyone who’s never been inside before. No limits – just come and have a wander round, enjoy refreshments and a chat. Open from 10am to 12 noon.

Official Re-opening of Gordon Street Church

Join us for an evening of celebration to mark the re-opening of our church building on Friday 11 November at 7.30 pm. Rev David Meredith, the Senior Minister of Smithton-Culloden & Nairn Free Church, will be the guest speaker.

The refurbishment project has involved the installation of a new heating system, the replacement of the pews with comfortable chairs, the fitting of a new kitchen and extensive painting and decorating. The result is a flexible space fit for the 21st century.

P6 and P7 pupils from the four local primary schools will attend an event in our church marking the 400th anniversary of the King James Version of the Bible.
