If you know of anyone who needs a visit from the Minister, Please complete a Visitation Request form to be found on the table in the vestibule and at the back door. The completed forms should be handed to the minister or to any Elder or posted in the Donations Box in the Vestibule of the Church.

Also, if you are changing address, please complete a change of Address Notification and hand it to any elder or post it in the Donations Box in the vestibule. If you are moving away from the district, please contact the Session Clerk for a Certificate of Transference to take with you to your new church. This acts as an introduction to your new church

We would love to mark such occasions with a card and flowers whenever possible, but I’m sure that you will appreciate, bereavements and illness take priority where the flowers are concerned
