THE CHURCH FAMILY NEWS
Sunday, 19th September 2021
I hope this finds you and your family well.
Just to remind you that we are now allowed to have a capacity of 70 attending Sunday worship and there is no need to book a space. The Scottish Government and Church of Scotland are recommending that we continue with a one metre social distancing in our building for a little longer and face coverings should still be worn at all times.
Sadly,
Murdo’s Father is unwell and he has been granted compassionate leave for the
coming weeks to enable him to travel to and from Lewis to spend time with his
father and attend to affairs. As a
result, cover for Sunday Services has been arranged and Wednesday Worship
has been suspended. Worship will
take place as usual at 11.30am on Sundays and our Preacher this week is our
good friend Rev. John Stevenson
This Sunday will be streamed live on Facebook and will be uploaded
to YouTube.
Please come along and show your support.
Also, please keep Murdo, his Father and the family in your prayers
at this difficult time.
Members of the Kirk Session will meet
on Thursday, 23rd September ’21 at 7.00pm.
Sporting Memories: Our next Zoom meeting is on Wednesday, 22nd
September ’21. We are pleased to inform you that our meetings will alternate
each week with Zoom and Church Hall. Our
first meeting in the Church hall will be on Wednesday, 29th
September ’21. Looking forward to seeing
you all. Please log on to the smfs.co.uk website to keep up to date.
