Regional Gathering Approaches Fast...

 

On Friday 24th May 2013, L'Arche Inverness is proud to host the second regional gathering for L'Arche in Scotland!!

 

The day will be held at St Columba's church in Smithton by Culloden from 9.30am - organised by Anthony Kramers and a team of willing representatives from L'Arche Inverness and Edinburgh the day is sure to be a success.

 

Accommodation has been organised in Inverness for around twenty members of L'Arche Edinburgh who will be attending on the day. At the moment we are still looking for numbers of those attending from L'Arche Inverness and for offers of people to make food for the day.

 

Lisa distributed a poster this week also looking for anyone willing to showcase a talent. Be it dancing, singing, drawing, playing an instrument ..... what ever you want please let her know by phoning Saorsa as soon as possible.

 

We hope you are as excited about attending as we are .....

REGIONAL GATHERING HERE WE COME!!

Easter Celebrations...

This year a wide range of community members from all around the community attended regular Faith Life Group meetings in order to begin preparations for Easter.

 

The group had many ideas for the Passover Meal and Foot washing, Good Friday and Easter Sunday. Many people have commented on how they thought this year has been the best in a while!! Good news for all involved.

 

A big thank you to all the Faith Life Group members who helped to organise the events this year!

Marathon Success ...

Holly and Petyo with their medals

 After months of anticipation both Holly and Petyo have completed their half marathon challenge!

 

On Sunday 17th March the pair woke early and dawned their running shoes then headed to Bught Park to register for the race. Braerannoch were out in force at the end of the road next to Rosedene's where they cheered as they ran passed in a crowd of over 3,000 people. Susie made a great effort by making a brightly coloured poster stating "Holly and Petyo - You're Heroes!" which was greatly appreciated.

 

The 13.1 mile half marathon took place on a day when the Scottish weather was evident as it was extremely cold and very very wet! but nothing stopped them both.
 

2 hours and 25 minutes later they approach the finish line

MacTalla showed their support at the swing bridge which spurred them onto the finishing stretch. Running together during the race they bet their target of 2 hours 30minutes arriving at 2 hours 25 minutes over the finish line.

 



At the finish line with some of their many supporters

 

The community is so proud of both Holly and Petyo for showing such enthusiasm and raising well over £1000 which will be put towards The Workshops.

 

There is still time to donate to help them reach their £2000 target so if you wish, log onto:
