CHURCH PARKING.
Please be advised that if not parking in our carpark that the following guidelines apply.
1. That vehicles parked on the opposite side from the church in Puddy Lane face the direction of travel. That is the parked car faces the railway line (facing west not east) and,
2. Vehicles are not to be parked in front of the adjacent homes (usually plenty of parking in front of church and within church property).
Important notice
Replacement of Church Roof.
The builder contracted to replace the church roof has indicated a possible time to commence work as either the 7th or 8th of April.
This activity will, of course, be weather dependent.
The first activity will be the erection of scaffolding on the east side of the church (car park side). For safety reasons access to the church building will be restricted to the main entry only. This is because
arrangement has been made with the builder to place padding around the scaffolding only at the main entry to the church.
Again, for safety reasons, car parking shall be limited to the east side of the car park. That is, it is requested that parking not be made in front of the scaffolding to ensure there is no damage to the scaffolding or the possibility of individuals walking, or coming in contact, within the scaffolding.
Works are not anticipated to be undertaken over the weekend period therefore our Sunday services are not anticipated to be affected.
Prayer meeting.
At the church at 10a.m. every Tuesday (unless otherwise specified).
Everyone is encouraged and you don't have to pray out loud if you aren't comfortable to do so.
There is also a prayer time before the Sunday service in the prayer room at 9 a.m. All welcome.
MEMBER’S MEETING.
The next member’s meeting is scheduled for next Sunday, 24th of May.
The meeting will commence after the morning tea session.
FELLOWSHIP MORNING.
