Re-opening for worship

From Easter Day 2021 (4th April) we are returning to holding all-age worship back in church every Sunday, led by our locum ministers Rev Catriona Morrison and Rev Marc Prowe.

Website services will also continue, but for now we won’t be running our Zoom coffee sessions.

It would be lovely to see you back in the church building, but please don’t come if you don’t feel it is right for you.

Do not attend if you have any symptoms of Covid-19 or if you have been in contact with anyone with Covid-19 in the last 14 days.

Please take note of the following points before deciding whether or not to attend, and to prepare yourself, if you do decide to attend.

  • You must bring a mask / face covering (compulsory).
  • You might want to bring a bible and bottle of water.

  • Come to the main door on Blackness Avenue. Please let us know in advance if you need disabled access.
  • Aim to arrive 10-15 minutes earlier than normal to ensure all can be seated by 11.00am.
  • Wait outside in a socially distanced manner until you are invited to enter the building. This will be one (or one household) at a time. Bring an umbrella if the weather is doubtful!

  • As you come in you will be asked to read some notices, put on your mask / face covering and use the hand sanitiser provided.

  • You will need to give your name and phone number. This is to comply with NHS Scotland’s Test and Protect programme.
  • Please wait until you are directed to a pew.
  • Only some pews will be in use and these will be ‘filled’ from the front backwards.
  • Each pew can only have either two individuals, a couple & an individual, or a family. It’s important you stay in the seat to which you are directed.
  • Cushions are not permitted in the pews.
  • Avoid touching anything and maintain social distance.
  • The disabled toilet will be the only toilet available. Please keep use to a minimum.
  • There will no singing and no pew Bibles or service sheets, but we will still have music playing.
  • At the end of the service, stay in your seat until you are directed to leave the building. Those in the back pews will be asked to leave first, all leaving through the main door and not along the passage.
  • There must only be essential talking within the building and no congregating outside. The Church of Scotland particularly reminds us that places of worship are privileged to be allowed to re-open, and we must set a good example in the community.
  • It will not be possible to serve tea and coffee.
  • Children are very welcome but there will not be a Sunday Club. We suggest you bring activities for your children to do during the sermon.
  • Please bring any monetary donations in an envelope and leave them the box provided; cheques would be preferable to cash.

This all sounds very strict, and very different to how we normally worship together.
“For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.” Matthew 18:20

And for those who choose not to attend, we will be praying for you, and a time when we can all worship together in person.

Worship for Sunday 7/3/2021

Introductory Music

Welcome

Rev Marc Prowe leads our service today. He welcomes us, we sing “In a byre near Bethlehem” to a familiar tune, and our prayers are led by John Dent.

With the young

Marc explains how following Jesus needs committment. John Dent reads from Luke 9, 22-27. We sing “God has made laughter”, and we see more images of times good and hard.

Working on into hardship

We sing “When we are tempted to deny your Son”, and Marc presents a summary of Luke 9 46-55, with imagined dialogue between the disciples and Jesus -“no Jesus no”.

Be ready

We hear from Luke 9 57-62 and Psalm 141 6-10, read by Frances and John Dent. Marc reminds us to be ready.

Breaking new ground

Marc brings our service to a close, and we sing “Will you come and follow me”, and “When we are living”, and we pray together.

Closing music

Played by Bill Mclean on our church organ.

Notices

With thanks to Rev Marc Prowe, Frances and John Dent, Ed Muirhead, Bill Mclean, Hazel Bengough, and all our other contributors.
