ALLAN CHURCH Thanksgiving and a Baptismal Service will be held on Sunday, July 11 at 11.15am and will be led by the Rev. Ken Russell. Whilst the numerical limit has been lifted by the Scottish Government and replaced with Physical Distanced Building Capacity (PDBC), the PDBC for the Allan Church is displayed at the front door as per legal requirements. Other mitigations are still in place i.e. seating is still restricted because of COVID 19 but there are hand sanitisers and face masks (should you forget your own). Social distancing and a one-way system will be the order of the day in and out of church. The services are shorter than normal because we are still unable to sing hymns or recite prayers in accordance with Scottish Government and Church of Scotland guidelines. Please note that you use the building at your own risk.

INDUCTION SERVICE The induction service for Rev Peter Gill at Allan Church on Thursday, July 15 is now fully booked. Please do not attend if you have not booked a place. If you have booked to attend, try to come early (church will be open from 6pm) and once your name has been given you will be shown to the seat allocated for your name by an usher of the service.

COVID regulations apply for all services in the church.
