Summer Notices
As we are sharing services with St George's URC over the summer holidays, notice sheets will only be produced fortnightly, to coincide with the services to be held at this church. Some copies will be available at St George's on our Sundays there for anyone who missed them on the previous Sunday. Notices will therefore be produced for the following dates: Sunday 25th July, Sunday 8th August and Sunday 22nd August.
Things will return to normal on Sunday 5th September.
If you have any notices to be printed during this period, we would ask that you bear these dates in mind and submit information in time for inclusion.
