UPDATE ON OUR CHURCH OPENING
1 Corinthians 12:27 – (NIV) - Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.
On Tuesday 14th July, Elgin High Congregational Board and Kirk Session met over Zoom to discuss the possibility of re-opening the church building for communal payer, worship and/or funerals. After much discussion, under the current ‘Scottish Government’s Route Map’ and the ‘Church of Scotland’s Re-opening of Church Buildings guidelines’, Board and Session have taken the difficult decision not to re-open our building at this time. There were many factors that led to this decision for example; current 2-metre physical distancing; hygiene; no singing; limited numbers.
However, our priority is health and wellbeing for all who use the building and we feel we are not able to re-open our building safely presently.
