This is a temporary page to pass on information as it is received from the Diocese and The Scottish Episcopal Church (Province) during the time of this pandemic. Items here will be dated. We pray that this page will exist for a short time only and will pass into history one day. We pray for everyone of our congregation and all in need at this time.

COVID PRECAUTIONS
Due to the current widespread number of cases we take steps to protect everyone. Sometimes last-minute changes may be necessary. To keep you informed, we recommend you are added the mailing list and you will receive emails with any new information. Please mail stmacharsbucksburn@gmail.com. You will also be given details of our current safety precautions.
EVERYONE IS WELCOME AT THESE SERVICES.
Currently, to follow Covid safety measures, we ask that you let us know if you are going to attend with name and contact phone or email. Emails are sent out before services giving the celebrant and other details. To join the mailing list please contact stmacharsbucksburn@gmail.com.
The Government and the Scottish Episcopal Church are recommending carrying out a Lateral Flow Test before attending Church
Caring for one another and staying in touch becomes even more important in these times. Prayer is ever more essential!
Do get in touch if you would like to speak to someone.

Bishop Anne provides a Diocesan Newsletter approximately once a fortnight. This is sent to all on the mailing list. The ‘Diocesan Newsletter’ page of this site should show these and the page will be updated when possible.
All members of the congregation are sent the Order of Service for Morning Prayer and the readings for the next few weeks either electronically or by post. Anyone who has not received this and would like it, please let us know as above.
The Eucharistic Service from the Scottish Episcopal Church is broadcast via the SEC website at 11am each Sunday. It is available on Facebook and YouTube
