Re-opening Churches
The Church nationally has a group who meet regularly to develop guidelines for Churches which will help them to to reopen all aspects of Church life safely when conditions permit. Let us hope and pray that we will continue to be able to meet in person in St Mungo’s for many years to come.
The Church is now open for the Sunday service and the other work of the church is still continuing so there are still expenses to be covered. The Church of Scotland has introduced an online donations system which allows those who wish to continue to support this work financially even when unable to attend in person.
