Refreshments and Reusable Cups: Reminder that we are trying to reduce resources by moving away from providing paper cups for everyone [particularly as they have doubled in price]. Please remember to bring your own reusable flask / cup to church and if you do use our paper cups, please place them in the recycle bin provided and not the main rubbish bins. Thank you.
