Fundraising items |
The Highland Family Group of the Iona Community has produced this beautiful Iona calendar for 2019, in conjunction with photographer Iain Sarjeant. Although many of the views will be familiar to anyone who knows Iona, Iain chooses to take many of his pictures from slightly different viewpoints, and in the early morning, or evening, to take advantage of the often beautiful light at those times of the day. The calendar is 21cm x 21cm, and comes with a bonus picture of one of the more elusive places on Iona. All profits from the sale of this calendar will go to the Iona Abbey Capital Appeal. |
This live recording of worship in Iona Abbey from Holy Week and Easter Sunday from the 1990s (originally published as an audio cassette) is now being made available again to help with the fundraising effort to renovate Iona Abbey. Pay only £1 ex VAT and kindly add a donation of your choice to the fund at checkout (just below the shopping cart). Available as two audio downloads of approximately 60 MB each |
When editor Neil Paynter called for contributions to Iona of My Heart he wrote: ‘I’m looking for those human stories from Iona. You know the ones – we all have them. Stories about different folk coming together – people from different countries and backgrounds. Stories of encounter, challenge, exchange, connection, transformation. Stories about people and the power of the Spirit … Show why Iona and what the Iona Community does there is important to the world. Give it a human face.’ Four months of daily readings. Royalties to the Iona Community’s Iona Abbey Capital Appeal. |
