St Mungo’s members – are you getting our emails? If not you are missing out on hearing about lots of activities for all ages. Perhaps you opted out of getting general emails from us via church suite? You can update your preferences and update changes in your email any time by logging into your church suite app. Or ask us to change it for you. We can re-send you an invitation for church suite if you need one. Or perhaps they are in the junk/spam folder? If you find any emails from any of our staff in there you need to select each one and mark it as “not junk” or “from a safe sender” depending upon your email operating program. By doing this you will 'train' your email program to recognise our emails and not flag them as junk. If you have any questions or are still having problems please email penny.moise@stmungos.org

Coronavirus response from Tearfund

Week beginning 19 July

St Mungo’s online. Please check out St Mungo’s response to recent Scottish Government announcements on the Route Map out of lockdown. https://stmungos.org/news/coronavirus-update It still remains that there are no traditional “physical” gatherings, services, events etc but we are meeting in many forms virtually. Keep an eye on the website for information.

Mighty Mungos! Join us at 10am on Sundays for a 20 minute section specifically designed for primary aged children and their families, however it isn’t exclusive to them so if you’re an adult and want to join us for some silliness, worship, and teaching at that time too, you are very welcome!

Send in your pictures! While we can recreate our Sunday service to a certain degree online, what we can’t replicate is the interactions we have with real people before and after the service. What would go some way towards restoring this sense of connection would be to see more of your faces – there are only so many that we can include in the service proper, but we can feature pictures in the pre-service ‘slideshow’! So we would love you to send in pictures of yourself and your family, maybe showing us what you’ve been up to this week, and we will put a selection up each week before the service. Send them in to onlinechurch@stmungos.org. Thank you!
