· Kayella, sister of Dorothy and Irene H, was transferred from Raigmore hospital to the hospital in Stornoway. Norman S was able to visit her on Monday before his return to Ayr on Tuesday. Dorothy, Irene and Donny have all travelled up to Lewis for the funeral of Kayella’s son. The funeral is expected to be today, Friday. Please continue to pray for the family.

​

· Pray also for the families of the other two fishermen whose bodies have not yet been recovered and so are not able to have a funeral.

· Give thanks that at Hope Corner this week and at the Sunday evening service we had two men, Gavin & Martin, who regularly visit when holidaying in the area, sometimes they are part of a bigger group.

​

 

· Please continue to pray for those in care homes – May K, Murdina M, Irene B and Duncan C (senior) as well as those who used to attend regularly but are now not able to do so, such as Bill M and Careen O.

​

 

· Give thanks for the Communion Preparatory service in Ayr on Thursday. It was very encouraging to hear C Cruickshank from New Prestwick Baptist church. It is good to know that yet more people are praying that we would also get a new minister. Please pray for the recent settlement in New Prestwick Baptist, Callum arrived in August, and that a good relationship will be kept with this neighbouring congregation.
