In the meantime, this is a wee call for volunteers/ helpers.

Worship and COVID regulations update: upon returning from annual leave, the minister and Kirk Session will be putting together an updated Risk Assessment form and revised seating plan, given the easing of some of the measures put in place. Once this has been approved by Session and thereafter, presbytery, details will be put up here on the blog, and on the church noticeboard by the lytch gate. With the 1m social distancing, we're hoping to have capacity for 34 people.
