World Mission & Giving
Thank you for your continued patience with us as we move into a season of venue decisions for various meetings and services which require discussions and meetings with external bodies which sometimes move at a slower speed than would be desirable. We will continue to keep Facebook and our Website updated with all the latest news and venue confirmations.
