Worship Songs - Our church vision starts with worship. One way of worshiping is by singing, this playlist of songs we sing in church, or might sing in future, might help you to build worship into your day: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7iEeoADKGlo8E9VSRTY0wf?si=l6_GZyefTdSga5jQ98UN6Q&pi=2msyotZ-TjO5D 

Prayer - For those on duty in any capacity on a Sunday and anyone else who would like to join each week there is a gathering at the front to pray before the service. Time is 9.55 and kept to 5 minutes to allow anyone on duties to return to them. All welcome. Prayer then continues with those on the prayer ministry team from 10am – approximately 10.20am and again all are invited to join in this time (not only those on the team).

Alpha Course - The Alpha course is underway now and groups are settled in, at this stage it's not possible for anyone new to join this course, however there will be future opportunities for anyone interested to participate.

A huge thank you to those who are praying for the course. Also we really appreciate those who have provided meals so far and those who have signed up to cook. There are a few spaces left over the weeks, if you have never catered for a group of around 20 or would prefer to help rather than take charge you would be very welcome. To find our more please speak to Alison or Janis.

David Babb - Pedalling for Ness-cessities! - I’ve signed myself up for the 66-mile Etape Loch Ness on 26th April 2026, which means voluntarily cycling all the way around the loch, including the hills (why are there so many hills?). I’m doing it to raise money for Adopt A Child, supporting children and families through feeding programmes, healthcare, education, spiritual care and ongoing community support.  If you’d be willing to sponsor me, I’d be hugely grateful. Every donation, large or small, will be an amazing help. You can support me via this link: https://www.justgiving.com/page/david-babb-etape. I’ll be very thankful for your prayers too — especially when I hit the hills! TOGETHER we can make a difference! Thank you so much David

Help Keeping Our Churches Warm During Winter  -As we progress through the cold winter months, it becomes increasingly important to pay attention to how we manage our Church doors. When allowing people to enter or exit, we should ensure that the doors are kept open only for the shortest time necessary. By minimising the amount of time the doors remain open, we can help to retain warmth inside the building. This simple action contributes significantly towards maintaining a comfortable temperature within the Church and helps with our heating bills and the environment,  David Scott – Treasurer 

Exchange Hub – Monthly gatherings for teas and coffees, catch-ups with friends, music, board games, first Wednesday of month from 7pm-9pm, come and go as you please.  See our web site for dates: https://www.cullodenandardersierchurch.org.uk/hub 

Church Lunches – We are having a monthly church lunch after our all-age services 1st Sunday of the Month.  Next one 5 April. This will be a special Easter lunch with main and pudding.

If you wish to stay for lunch please use the sign-up sheet in hall of Friendship or in Ardersier Church adding your name, and any special dietary needs.  If possible please let us know if you are coming by Sunday 29 March for catering purposes. There is also a sign up sheet asking for specific food items. All welcome. If you would like volunteer, help set up, or serve, please speak to Janice Mackay or Sandra MacIntyre.

Sunday Teas - We are needing a few more people to help with teas and coffees on Sunday mornings, would you like to help serve the church family in this way?
