INTIMATIONS

 

Covid Regulations : 

From 09 August the Scottish Government removed most of the Covid restrictions which had been operating previously.  However, the strong recommendation from the Church of Scotland is that, at present, congregations may wish to keep the 1 metre social distancing policy.

 

We feel that it would be more reassuring for those attending church if we continue to implement this practice.

 

The First Minister has also stated that it will continue to be the law that face coverings must be worn in all indoor settings as it is now.

 

Consequently, face coverings must still be worn in the church and throughout the service – including during the singing of praise items.

 

The existing cleaning and disinfecting regimes will continue with the church fully sanitised after each service.

 

Bible Study & Prayer Fellowship :

These services are now closed for the Christmas / New Year period.

Services will resume in mid-January 2022.

 

FreeWill Offering Envelopes for 2022 :

Anyone wishing to join the scheme and receive envelopes for their weekly offerings should see Bill.

 

Church Magazine :

The Christmas edition of the magazine is now published and has been posted on the church website.

 

Printed copies are still available and, if you wish, you may pick up a copy at either the front or back door as you leave the church today.

 

We are delighted to say that more of the content in this edition has come from members of the congregation and we hope that even more articles come from yourselves for future editions.

 

Services : The next morning worship will be held at 11.00 am on Sunday 02 January 2022.
