Proposed service time changes. a link to congregational survey has been emailed out, do respond to this consultation.
Thank you to everyone who responded to the proposed service times change survey and participating in the recent Zoom consultations. We found both of these processes extremely helpful and will now spend the rest of October processing the comments and suggestions and praying through the next steps. We will come back to both congregations in November to share the outcome. Please do be continuing to pray for this next stage.
