As East Ayrshire is now in level 4 the number of those we are allowed to accommodate in the Sanctuary is reduced. For the next three Sundays, 22 November,29 November and 6December the number is limited to 20, including the minister, stewards and media desk.  We are of course continuing with worship on the telephone and online. If we then move back to level 3 we will be able to accommodate 28 people plus the minister, stewards and media desk.

Prisoners week 2020 ‘NOT ALONE’

by

This year’s theme has emerged from the experience of COVID-19 – a reassurance to people affected by imprisonment that they are Not Alone.  During the week we are highlighting the many different types of support and presence available to people. 

The week kicks off with a

Virtual Launch Service at 10am on Sunday 15th November – accessed on the Prisoners Week Scotland Facebook page.  Recordings of the service will also be played over prison TV channels, where available, meaning that people in prison, their families, external organisations and congregations will all be watching the Launch Service at the same time.

In addition to various activities around the prisons there will be 4 zoom forums on different aspects of support which we hope you will sign up for

 Forum 1     Pastoral Care in Prisons      Sunday 15th Nov @ 3pm    

 Forum 2     Support Inside Prisons         Tuesday 17th Nov @ 3pm    

 Forum 3     Support Outside Prisons      Wednesday 18th Nov @ 7pm    

 Forum 4     Support for Families             Thursday 19th Nov @ 7pm    

 You can find out more about the Forums and a link to register in the attachment to this email or by going to http://www.prisonersweek.org.uk/home#  where you can also find posters to download and other information about Prisoners Week 2020.
