INTIMATIONS
Covid :
While Covid is still present in the community, the majority of our congregation are now fully vaccinated against the virus.
At a joint meeting of the Kirk Session and Congregational Board it was felt that we could now relax our previous strong recommendation that face coverings should be worn in the church.
The wearing of these face coverings will now be a matter of personal choice.
The cleaning and disinfecting regime in the church will continue, but at a reduced frequency. It will still be sanitised before each Sunday worship.
After Morning Worship Fellowship :
After our Morning Worship today, Tea , Coffee, Juice, and biscuits will be served in the Church. Please stay behind for as long or short a time as you can manage and enjoy a time of fellowship with other members of the congregation and with visitors to our church.
Sunday Evening Services :
Evening services are held in the church each Sunday and commence at 6.00 pm.
Sunday School :
The group meets every Sunday during the school term. They meet initially in the Church before moving to the Church Hall.
If required, a crèche facility is available.
Ladies’ Bible Study Group :
The Ladies’ Bible Study Group meets in the Hall at 10.30 am each Tuesday. The group will be delighted to welcome any new ladies who would want to join them in fellowship and friendship.
Bible Study & Prayer Fellowship Services :
These services are held in the Church at 7.00 pm each Tuesday evening.
All are invited to attend.
Pastoral Visits :
The Minister asks that he be kept informed of any member of the congregation who is ill, in hospital or would welcome a visit from him.
Safeguarding Coordinator :
We are looking for a member of the congregation to take on this vitally important role. There is a Church of Scotland requirement that every church must have a Safeguarding Coordinator.
The duties are mainly administrative. Anyone interested in taking on this role or seeking more information about it should see Bill.
Summer Opening of the Church:
Our search for volunteers to allow the church to be open to visitors for restricted periods during the months of July and August has, to date, produced 8 names. This number would be insufficient to cover the requirements and we would need at least a total of 15 volunteers. If you can spare 1 hour per week (or more) to allow visitors to see inside our sanctuary, to sit and pray, to have a time of quiet contemplation, or simply to admire the stained-glass windows in the church please give your name to Donna or Bill.
New Communicant Members :
Any Adherent who would wish to become a full communicant member of the church should speak to the Minister at the end of the service or contact him by telephone. We would dearly love to see more Adherents take up full communicant membership of the church.
Date for the Diary :
The Annual General Meeting of the church will be held in the Church Hall at 7.00 pm on Tuesday 04 June 2024 and we would encourage you to attend to support your Office Bearers and to hear reports on the various activities which have taken place during 2023.
Tea & Coffee, and the opportunity for further fellowship, will be provided at the end of the meeting.
Copies of the Annual Accounts for the church for 2023 are available in Vestibule.
Courses :
Details of Blessed Bible Group Chat and Digital Disciples support group, the two online courses being offered by our Presbytery, are still displayed on the door in the front vestibule.
Anyone interested in joining either group will find the links on the posters and in the church website News section.
Retiral Offering for May :
A Retiral Offering will be taken at the end of both services today.
This collection will go towards the costs of major projects in our church buildings.
