The Flower Team would like to thank everyone who has donated Flowers each Sunday over the years. Flowers enhance the beauty of the Church and bring pleasure to those who receive them after worship. There are a few vacant Sundays and if you feel able to contribute, there is a notice on the board in the welcome area where you can choose a vacant Sunday. Any further information please contact Anne Boyd whose number is on the Notice.
Thank you.
The Prayer Tree is situated inside the welcome area, for anyone in the church and community who wishes to add a prayer to it. You can write your prayer on one of the supplied labels, and either put it on the tree or into the prayer box.
The ministry team will look at the prayers regularly and pray for you.
