Vestry Hour The Minister may be consulted without appointment on
Fridays between Weddings Couples wishing to be married in church should consult the minister at an early stage. People do not have to be members of the church, but it is assumed that those who want to be married in church sincerely wish to seek God's blessing on their marriage; and the time around marriage is a good time to give serious thought to the claims of Christ. Couples will be expected to attend a Marriage Preparation class which meets after morning service on the last three Sundays of January. Funerals Arrangements are made through an Undertaker or directly with the Minister, who will seek to give as much help as possible. The church building is available for such Services. More information is available from the Minister on the normal arrangements. Finance A Freewill Offering Envelope system is in use, and all
members are given a new set of envelopes each year. Tax-paying members are
also encouraged to give under Gift Aid; further information from your elder.
The Statement of the Church's accounts is made available at the Annual
Meeting. |
