Covid-19: Cancellation of Worship and Events

***Do you have a church event that you need to cancel? Email news@wardie.org.uk with the details and we’ll post it below***

Worship

Cancellation of Worship Services

The Church of Scotland Task Group has agreed to ask, in the strongest terms, that all gatherings for worship should cease until further notice, with effect from Wednesday 18th March 2020. Other Scottish Churches are taking similar actions.

Written Sunday Services

We have produced a written Sunday Service for this Sunday, which you can access here.

Lent Group

Our Reflective Lent Group, which meets on Thursday nights, is now cancelled.

Toddler Group

Thursday Toddler Group will be cancelled until further notice.

Toddler Music Cafe

Tuesday Toddler Music Cafe will be cancelled at Wardie Parish Church until further notice.

Wardie Guild

In view of the worsening coronavirus situation, it has been decided to postpone the Guild sale due to be held on Wednesday 18th March. A refund on tickets purchased can be had from Susan Dyer or Maureen Kelly.

All Guild meetings until the end of the season, including the Palm Court Tea, are also cancelled.

We are hoping to start Summer Coffee Bothy events after the 12-week quarantine period. These usually run on the first and third Wednesday of the month. Please check back for the latest information, which will be posted on the website and on church noticeboards nearer the time.

Wardie Walkers

Wardie Walkers were due to hold a walk on 22nd April but this has now been cancelled.

Windows Fundraising Events

The wine tasting event, scheduled for Friday 20th March, has been postponed. We are also postponing the Silent Auction which was to take place on 29th May.

Apologies to everyone who was looking forward to these very sociable events.

The Windows Fund currently stands at around £12,500 which means we are only short of the last £3000 needed for the east window repairs. Wardie people have been extremely supportive so far in raising and gifting funds for the renovations and we are enjoying the improved light and good looks of the north and west windows.Further donations are still most welcome and with Gift Aid we may even reach our final target despite not being able to hold the above events. All cash and cheques, payable to “Wardie Parish Church”, should be addressed to the Treasurer via the Church Office. Donations can also be made directly to the church Account Number:- 00915587, Sort Code:-80 02 33. Please ensure your donation is clearly marked WARDIE WINDOWS APPEAL.

Zumba

Zumba will be cancelled at Wardie Parish Church until further notice.
