IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR THE CONGREGATION
At its meeting in October 2024, the Kirk Session identified a number of priorities which would review areas of the life of the congregation.
One of these priorities is to make contact with every member on the congregational roll to ascertain accurate contact details. These details will be as follows:
- Address
- Telephone number
- e-mail address [where applicable]
- In addition, the following question will be asked of everyone:
How would you like to receive contact from the church in the future [in addition to your elder’s visit, should you have an elder]
Two of our elders, Alison Thomson and Isobel Allison have been asked and have agreed to facilitate this piece of work. All information gathered will be passed to the Church Roll Keeper, Shona Jenkins, in order that our records are up to date. You may be asked for this information by your elder, if you have one, or directly by Alison or Isobel.
This exercise is being carried out in strictest confidence and according to relevant data protection protocols
