Covid  : 

While Covid is still present in the community, the majority of our congregation are now fully vaccinated against the virus.

At the last 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.

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.

Sunday School : 

Sunday School is closed for the Easter holiday period.  Classes will resume on Sunday 23 April.

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.

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.

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 and take Communion on Easter Sunday 09 April.

Prior to the Communion Service to be held on Easter Sunday, 09 April, a Preparatory Service will be held in the church at 7.00 pm on Good Friday, 07 April

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.

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.

Sunday School : 

Due to the School February holiday break, there will be no Sunday School next Sunday 19 February.  Classes will resume on Sunday 26 February.

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.

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.

Church Hall  –  Cleaning Rota :

With the Hall now being used on a regular basis by community groups we are looking for volunteers willing to join the cleaning rota.

If you would wish to be involved in the Hall cleaning, please give your name to Heather Quaye.

As the Church will continue to be sanitised by “fogging”, the existing cleaning arrangements for that building will continue.

Healing for Hurting Heart Course :

Saturdays 4th and 11th March  9.30am-4.00pm in the Free Church, Kyle

Join us for this Bible based course delivered over two sessions by Sarah Wright from Gairloch Church of Scotland.

In our communities many people have experienced bereavement, conflict, abuse, accidents, crime, relationship breakdown, illness and other adverse experiences. Many of them have been wounded inside by these things. In addition to this the pandemic has left unprecedented numbers of young and old folk alike feeling isolated, struggling and alone.

This course will enable you to better help yourself or others to come through these difficult times.   Everyone is welcome to join.

INTIMATIONS

Covid  : 

While Covid is still present in the community, the majority of our congregation are now fully vaccinated against the virus.

At the last 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 :
