INTIMATIONS
Covid :
While the wearing of face-coverings and maintaining social distancing is no longer a legal requirement, The Scottish Government and the Church of Scotland advice is that in indoor settings the continuation of these practices should be encouraged.
With the continuing high number of cases of Covid cases in and around Portree, and the increasing number of visitors to our island we would strongly recommend that :-
- Face-coverings (unless exempt) should still be worn in the church and throughout the service – including during the singing of praise items.
- Social distancing on entry to, and exit from the church as well as when sitting in the pews – the small markers on the pew shelves are spaced at 1-metre intervals.
The existing cleaning and disinfecting regimes will continue with the church fully sanitised after each service.
All these procedures are designed to minimise the risks to anyone attending worship in the church.
Sunday Evening Services :
A reminder that Sunday Evening Services have now restarted.
Services are held in the church and commence at 6.00 pm.
