Future Hall Bookings

Are you planning an event in the Hall?

We are now getting external enquiries about Hall bookings for 2016 and we need to plan maintenance days for both the Property Group and external contractors.

Church Events will always get priority so if you are planning any "one off" events in the Hall. Please let John Pearson know even if it's only a provisional booking at this stage. You can contact him on 01223 892197 or email jvandl@yahoo.com

Next Sunday (7th February, 10:30am) Chris will be continuing our five part series on the book of James exploring the theme of Practical Christian Living and looking at Chapter 3. If you missed the earlier talks you can still hear them by downloading the MP3s here: J ames 1 or James 2. Steve will be duty elder.
