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.

There is no Sunday School today due to the May Day school holiday. 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.
