St John's Church, Carluke

It is with a heavy heart that we must inform you that, during the current Covid-19 emergency, the Church of Scotland, has taken the decision to cancel all gatherings for worship until further notice.  In addition, all activities in our halls are also cancelled.

The decision to cancel church services will also have an impact on funerals.  However our minister will still be able to conduct services at the graveside or crematorium in line with the advice from Funeral Directors and their associations.  We are fully committed to supporting families through this difficult time.

This is an unprecedented move by the Church of Scotland at a time when we face an unprecedented crisis.  We ask for your prayers for all those affected by Covid-19.  Let us love our neighbours as ourselves, help the most vulnerable during these challenging times and pray for our Government and nation, for each other, and especially for those who work in our health and emergency services.

The immediate past Moderator of the Church of Scotland, Very Rev Colin Sinclair wrote a prayer as we face this new challenge.  Read it here.
