Sunday 26th September
At 11am, we will be trying something a little different. The service will be Café Church service with communion in the Large Hall. Tea and coffee will be served for the first time since we reopened for worship. You will still be required to wear safe coverings, especially when singing, but face coverings can be removed for eating and drinking. We no longer have a requirement to maintain distancing, but we will be trying to make sure people feel safe and can maintain a distance if they prefer that.
The service will hopefully be on Zoom and YouTube as usual

We will be in the church for the first part of the service, as before, and then we will go through to the big hall. At the end of Junior Church, the leaders will bring the children back to the sanctuary.All young people, aged 3-16, are more than welcome!
Church Service Update
WE ARE NOW ALLOWED TO SING IN CHURCH – Although we do still have to wear face coverings.
We are now down to 1m distancing in the church on Sundays. This means that we can have more than 100 people. We are allowed to sing with face coverings on. This sounds awkward, but people seem to be getting used to it.
Please come to the main door as usual and we will redirect people if required. Face coverings will be required and we will be operating under the current restrictions with a one way system, 2m distancing and no singing.
There will also be an opportunity for up to 300 people to join using Zoom –

Sixtieth Birthday
The first service in the St Columba’s Church building was on 14th April 1961. We recently celebrated our 60th anniversary.
To mark the 60th anniversary , we have collected some pictures from the last 60 years. https://www.st-columbas.com/picture-challenge/ Our challenge was to share any memories or stories triggered by these pictures – we know there are lots of people with connections to the church. Printed copies have now been distributed. If you know of anyone else who would like one, please e-mail info@st-columbas.com. We will then collect the stories and produce another booklet later in the year.
