As Kirk Sessions step towards the re-opening of church buildings following a long period of closure, Presbytery share the following documents which we hope will allow localised help to the churches of Aberdeen and Shetland. It is important to note that, as the situation with COVID-19 measures, these documents may be revised and updated. We also attach a document titled “What areas of the church buildings should we be inspecting”. This document may be used as a weekly check list to ensure that our buildings are thoroughly checked for insurance purposes while unoccupied (up to the 23rd September).
