Rector’s Address at 2015 Easter General Vestry

Address given at the General Vestry on 15th April 2015
My dear friends, how time flies when you’re having fun.

Sunday Evening Services starting 2nd November

Our long awaited Sunday evening services will commence on Sunday 2nd November at 7pm in the church.

These services will consist of a more modern liturgy and contemporary worship songs led by Eric Hughes, youth worker at Adelaide Road Presbyterian Church. These services are open to all but may particularly suit teenagers and young adults who are searching for an alternative to more traditional Sunday morning worship. They are also aimed at the many people who find Sunday morning attendance difficult due to commitments of sport etc.

We pray that this initiative will be blessed by our Father God, and in turn be a blessing to all who come.
