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 :

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 and 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 has resumed these visits and asks that he would be kept informed of any member of the congregation who is ill, in hospital or would welcome a visit from him.

St Columba’s Episcopalian Church – Bread Basket :

A reminder that our friends in the Episcopalian Church are providing free lunches for school children on Wednesdays during the summer holiday period and would welcome the help of any volunteers to serve food, wash up and generally chat to those attending.  Children attending must be accompanied by an adult.

Assistance with cooking would also be welcomed but volunteers for this task must have kitchen and hygiene certificates.

The Bread Basket serves food from 11.00am to 2.00pm, so if you are available and interested please go along and introduce yourself to the St Columba team.
