Attending Church from Sunday 6th June
From Sunday 6th June everyone who has asked to attend Church in person will be able to attend each week, the bi-weekly bubbles will no longer apply. The same guidelines will be in place but we are now able to have more people in the church building.
We will have lists at the door, as before for track and trace details, and because of this we would ask if you are unable to attend any week that you drop us a quick email to acts.tarbert@btconnect.com and let us know. This also means we will know what space we have for any visitors who want to attend Continue reading

POSTPONEMENT OF REOPENING
After a bit of discussion this morning, ( Saturday 9th January), the Kirk Session now think it would be unwise to go ahead and reopen the church next Sunday. Given how the national picture is looking just now, we feel it might be right for us to wait a while until the situation caused by the alarming surge in the new variant cases improves.

Happy New Year
The New Year letter this year is being posted on the website a bit later than usual. This letter is also being posted physically to the entire congregation, and hence we did not feel it was right to post the letter on the website until it had arrived via Royal Mail to people’s homes. Undertaking a mailshot of the congregation is an extremely onerous task, hence the reason we haven’t undertaken too many mailshots during the past year. Our grateful thanks are due to Karen, Agnes, Christine and others who printed, collated, labelled, enveloped and arranged postage for all these letters. Continue reading
