What a lovely service enjoyed every bit f it thank you
Good morning everyone
Positive case of Covid-19
Dear friends,
We can confirm that someone who has been in the church building has tested positive for Covid-19. The individual has informed NHS Test and Protect of their attendance at the church building in order that effective contact tracing may take place.
We would wish to reassure you that we have in place all the recommended infection prevention and control measures and a thorough cleaning programme for our church building.
Since we have been made aware, additional cleaning and ventilation has taken place and cleaning routines have been verified as having been carried out.
It remains important to remember that mixing socially in the community without maintaining appropriate measures helps the virus to spread widely. It is therefore important that people remain vigilant and follow the guidance from the Scottish Government.
The Scottish Government are actively encouraging everyone to undertake two Lateral Flow tests a week even if they do not display Covid-19 symptoms. We recommend that you follow this advice and home testing kits are available from most local community pharmacies or online at www.gov.uk/order-coronavirus-rapid-lateral-flow-tests
Individuals who experience any Covid-19 symptoms such as a cough, fever or loss of taste or smell, even if they are mild, should isolate immediately and get tested. Information on how to access testing is available at www.gov.uk/get-coronavirus-test
If you have any questions about coronavirus please visit www.nhsinform.scot in the first instance, or call the helpline on 0800 028 2816
S Burton, Minister
E Smith, Session Clerk
Can I ask why this is news that needs to be shared? It is neither reassuring or helpful to know and since the time and date of their visit is not mentioned, then there are no actions for those who do wish to meet, besides the government guidelines. Happy to pray for the individual/ family concerned of course, but it is not newsworthy.
🙏
Last Sunday Rev.Scott preached on our Family value. I came across this song and the lyrics capture the essence of that message - 'We are one'. (James F)
Join us this Sunday for our youth organisations' dedication service! We look forward to welcoming our Girls' Brigade and Boy's Brigade young people and volunteers. Get ready for some interaction, fun and a look at another of our church values.
Join us as we gather for live prayer online! Watch via our YouTube channel and Facebook page as Scott and others will take your prayer requests and pray for them live. Let us know ideas for prayer requests in the Live Chat.
