Support Us
There are different ways of supporting the two congregations of the Great Glen. Financially there is the offering on Sunday morning during Sunday worship, regular support by setting up a standing order, and practical support by supporting occasional fundraisers.

Please get in touch with the treasurers if you would like to support the congregations or with the minister or session clerks if you would like to volunteer.


A MESSAGE FROM YOUR MINISTER

PLATE & GIFT OFFERINGS FOR REGULAR CHURCH SERVICES

‘The Lord loves (and rewards) a cheerful giver’

2 Corinthians 9.7

We are glad to announce we are open again. If you are unable to attend, please put on one side each week the offering you would normally place in the plate offering at the Sunday morning service and bring it with you next time or, please hand it to the Treasurer or a Church Elder. If you have not made an arrangement already you can also set up a regular gift offering by standing order at the local bank to ‘Fort Augustus Parish Church’ or ‘Glengarry Parish Church’. The Church is still there for you.  Prayers are offered daily for everyone. We are there to provide support in times of illness and bereavement. The Minister is happy to chat over the phone or meet with anyone in the community who is in need. Weddings are currently being arranged at the moment, it is possible to plan these in advance at either Fort Augustus or Glengarry churches for dates in the future. Baptisms are being conducted and can be arranged during Sunday worship. The Church always depends upon generous giving to help cover the practical overheads to keep it functioning as the ‘historic Christian hub’ at the centre of every community. Especially at this time, we ask that you continue to keep your weekly offerings and bring them to church each time we meet for Sunday services. Thank you for your continued faithfulness and generosity at all times.

Keep well and keep safe,

‘God bless you all’
