Sept 2000

Edition 7

Welcome back after the summer break.

I would like to update you on the minister situation at present. You will recall that after the diaconate met with a minister in July, it was decided that he was not the person to lead the Church at this present time. I have contacted the other two names given by Ernie Whalley and forwarded the church profile. The second man felt that we were not the Church he was looking for and the third person was already in contact with another fellowship, he has however retained the profile and may contact us the future should we still be seeking a minister. I have now made another contact with Ernie Whalley who has some reserve names for us. Please give this situation prayerful consideration over the coming months.

The services in September will be led by:
3th Debbie Harvey Edward Newton
10th Ray Richardson Ray Richardson
17th Alan Turnbull Emma Hunter
24th David Hoskins Jnr. Alan Brown
Events in September:
16th Building Fund Coffee Morning
21st Church Meeting
30th BBQ - more info in the notices

Harvest this year will be held on Sunday 1st October. Listen to the notices for more information on the appeal this year.

Remember that the morning playscheme wil be starting in Sept and we must support the venture. One thing to make you all aware of is that any chairs that are in the extension hall cannot be stacked up (this is for safety reasons). If you need to use more chairs please return them to their original area.

If you pay income tax and would like the church to claim an additional 28% from any offering/donation that you give during the year. Please ask Brenda for a declaration form
