The flower committee creates floral displays around the Church. After the Church service these are taken to members who are ill, bereaved or celebrating a special occasion.
If you would like to take part please contact the office.
Weekly Diary
Covid restrictions
All Church activities are currently on hold with the exception of the Foodbank on Tuesdays from 10 - 12 noon. Leaders of organisations are working over the summer to prepare to restart as many as possible after the summer break, still following all the relevant advice.
Worship
We have returned to worship in our own buildings, but the same restrictions as we experienced from October to December will still be in place, including the wearing of facemasks and social distancing. Further details have been updated on the Weekly Worship page. With the Scottish Government now moving Scotland to Level 0, we are now able to increase our capacity in the hall to over 60. We will have different zones in the Hall 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!
Due to an on-going maintenance issue in the sanctuary, we continue worshiping in the Hall. As in the church, the music group will be playing and we have returned to congregational singing, led by a representative from the choir. The service will be streamed live on the church Facebook page and available later in the day on the website.
Our service next week is led by David Wilkie.
Food bank
The food bank is now opening on a regular basis at its usual time of 10AM - 12 noon on a Tuesday morning in the Church Hall. Please spread the word that the foodbank is now operating again and consider donating non-perishable items.
Prayer diary
The Crossreach prayer diary has been added to the foot of the Worship Resources page. The diary is updated every week to help focus thoughts on local, national and world issues which need our prayers. Thanks to Liz for finding this resource.
Link
The July copy of the link is now available on the website - Follow the 'Admin' menu at the top of the page and then 'Church Monthly Magazine'.
General Assembly
There is a supplement, produced by the Life and Work team, which summarises the main discussions and decisions from this year's Assembly. Some difficult and hard hitting decisions were agreed and it is recommended that everyone try and read this supplement given our situation regarding our vacancy. The supplement can be downloaded here.
