Linton Free Church - Whats on this Week?

Here is another edition of our weekly 'Whats On' email. If you would like anything included in future emails, please email Al Wood at al@alandang.com.

Next Sunday (10th April, 10:30am) Alistair is duty elder and Audrey Chipper will be bringing God's word.

Can you help with the baptism service?

We are delighted that we have a Baptism to look forward to on Sunday 17th. April. It will require a work group to set up the baptistery in the Hall at 11am. on Saturday 16th. April. It should take less than an hour, depending on how many turn up.

If you are available to assist please contact John Pearson. No experience is necessary and it would be good to share the expertise and pool our knowledge.
