Church Heating
The gas heating for the church has been decommissioned.  The Property Committee is speaking with a number of suppliers to arrange for a new heating system to be installed.  This will take some time as the various steps of the process are followed through.  Please bring whatever you need to keep warm during worship.

National Reconciliation Week 2022
The National Reconciliation Week (27th May to 3rd June) 2022 theme, “Be Brave.
