The Elders are continuing to monitor and discuss the situation as it rapidly changes. Please join us as we prayerfully seek wisdom for how best to respond. We are still planning to go ahead tomorrow for our 11am and 5.30pm services, but we of course understand some will want to stay at home due to underlying health issues and/or being in close contact with those who are vulnerable. Please do not feel any pressure to attend. In line with NHS guidelines, please stay at home for 7 days if you have the either of the following:
- a high temperature – you feel hot to touch on your chest or back
- a new, continuous cough – this means you’ve started coughing repeatedly
We have carefully thought through extra hygiene measures for our protection following professional advice. That means a continuation of the no handshaking policy, we will not be serving tea and coffee, cancellation of sharing the Lord’s Supper and a return to using a collection plate instead of the
collection bags.
At the moment we don’t have the facility for video live streaming. But we will have an audio live feed of the sermon at 11.30am tomorrow which you can
access from this link: https://mixlr.com/buccleuch-free-church/
Alternatively, you can find some older sermons available under the resources, and then sermon tab on this website.
In a situation of great fear and uncertainty at a personal, national and global level, we look to our sovereign and merciful God for help, and we pray for the
many levels of suffering people are experiencing during this crisis.
“He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in
whom I trust.” (Psalm 91:1-2)
