Worship Arrangements  from 07 January 2024

​

In view of rising utility costs and to make the best stewardship of our resources, the Kirk Session has decided that Sunday morning services in January and February will take place in the Church Centre instead of in the sanctuary.   While we will all miss being in our beautiful church for a few weeks, this offers us a cosier space and the opportunity to enjoy worship in a slightly different way. So, a few question you might be asking:

When does it start?
07January– time for a fresh approach (though some of you will remember that this has been done before successfully in the past).

Will the service time change?
No – services as usual at 10.30am. The prayer group will also still meet in the Board room at 9.30 and the choir and Praise Orchestra will rehearse at the usual times.

Will we still get our coffee after the service?

Yes – couldn’t change that! Teas will be served as usual and there will be a few tables in the old hall particularly for those who don’t enjoy balancing a cup on their lap. People can also take coffee back to their seats if they prefer.

Will we still be able to live stream?
Yes - everything will be the same as before, just in a different venue. 

What about all the moving chairs and stuff?
We’ll need some help with that. A team will be organised to do this  and would love to hear from any volunteers.

Where will the children and youth go?
Kidsteam and the  Youth Group will meet in the Garden Room and Lounge respectively.

Will we still have the choir and Praise Orchestra?
Yes, of course!!

What about Communion after church on the last Sundays of the month?
We will still do a short Communion on these Sundays. Probably it will be incorporated at the end of the service, but details are still being worked out.

If you have any other questions, please ask! We hope this will be a valuable addition to the way we worship, and look forward to seeing you all.
