Recent Events and Church News:

Vestry Meeting

The Vestry are going to meet in the coming weeks to discuss the possibility of re-opening the church. The meeting will be held by Zoom to maintain social distancing. There is a detailed checklist to be worked through before a final decision can be made. The two metre distance would need to be maintained, plus hand sanitising on arrival and departure. A register of attendees would be kept for track and trace purposes. These are just some of the measures that would need to be in place to protect the congregation and clergy. There is a link to more information on the stjohnswick website.

Toilet Fund

We recently submitted an application to the National Churches Trust for a Cornerstone grant towards the Toilet Project. A decision is not expected until November 2020 but you can read about their work at nationalchurchestrust.org. We need funding from external bodies if we are to reach our target.

Church Services

Our buildings may be closed but we are still open for business. Rev Ellie has been working tirelessly to connect with the congregation through online services and zoom coffee mornings, not forgetting those who prefer the written word by posting out the weekly reflection. The ministry team have also been assisting throughout the lockdown. Thank you for your dedication and commitment to mission in Caithness.
