A WALK IN THE NEW TESTAMENT - 21ST MARCH
Alex Muir will be getting us thinking about the New Testament. Watch this space!
REFRESH PROJECT
The Parish Centre is now 30 years old and is well used by many people in the community who enjoy parties, exercise groups, ballet classes and the Community Lunch, among other things. The aims of the Refresh Project are to upgrade the Parish Centre, improve the carbon footprint and make it suitable for the next 30 years of use. We would love to hear what you think and ideas you may have for the future use of the building. The work that eventually gets done will depend on the money we can raise, but at this stage we want to make sure that as many people as possible are involved in the discussions and understand the scope of what may be possible.
In the New Year Alex Muir will be leading a Saturday morning to get us thinking about the New Testament. Watch this space!
