Message from Rev Andrew - A very big thank you for everybody’s kind wishes,
prayers and support as I commence my sabbatical. I embark on this very special
experience feeling greatly blessed and though now ready for the rest and
opportunities a Sabbatical can offer also look forward to my return at the end
of August. Peace and Blessing. Andrew.
I am delighted to inform you that Brenda Andrews and Joy Harris will be our
Senior Stewards for the next 12 months. I am sure we will give them our support.
