Weekly Diary
Covid restrictions
Most Church activities have now restarted with guidelines in place for safe operation following the easing of Covid restrictions. The Sunday School, Pre-school, Office, Choir, BBs and Guild have all restarted.
Worship
We have returned to worship in our own buildings, but the familiar restrictions are in place for the safety of all, including the wearing of facemasks and social distancing. Further details have been updated on the Weekly Worship page. We will have different zones in the Chuch laid out for 1 metre distancing and 2 metre distancing so that you are able to sit where you feel most comfortable.
You will be most welcome!
Our service next week will be led by David Wilkie.
