NOTICES FOR THE COMING WEEK…
5. WEEKDAY WORSHIP… resumes this Thursday 2nd September when Melville will lead the service. Please note that it will start at the slightly earlier time of 11.15am. The service will still be approximately 25 minutes long, ideal for people who for various reasons find it hard coming to Church on Sundays. As it is the first service after the summer break, there will be tea/coffee and some ‘autumn goodies’ following the service. Why not bring along a friend?
