We welcome you all to our services today, especially if you are a visitor or worshipping with us for the first time.
Our minister, hopefully refreshed, after his short break, is leading our service this morning, which will include the celebration of the Lord’s Supper, when all, who so wish, are invited to share in the bread and wine.
Our Evening service at 6pm, will be led by Rev Ray Vncent.
Please remember the Copper Pot, and put your loose change in it before you leave, it will be used to benefit local charities.
Don’t forget to look at the selection of Hand-made cards which are available at the back of the church. If you want a card for a ‘special’ occasion, Colleen can provide one! The Graduation season is approaching!
