Stated Annual Meeting 2024
It is now customary I suppose that I write a few words to the Congregation after the Stated Annual Meeting which was held on Wednesday evening 21st February 2024. The Stated Annual Meeting is always a good opportunity for us all to take stock of the year that has passed and also to look forward to the year that lies before us as well. This year it was gratifying to see many more coming to the S.A.M compared to last year when poor weather badly affected the turnout. It was with deep gratitude to God that the Congregational Trustees presented the accounts for 2023. We are particularly thankful that, despite the financial pressures that have come to bear during the past year, that the level of Congregational income has remained remarkably steady.

Things like gloves, hats, also torches, batteries, candles, matches, etc that folk would need, even if they do not necessarily need food boxes.

Sunday 27th March
On 23rd March 2020, the whole country went into lockdown. Two years later, and unfortunately, the effects of Covid are still very much impacting our Community and Nation. After last Sunday’s morning service, the Sunday school teachers decided sadly that due to the rising number of Covid cases in the school, the planned Sunday School Easter Family service tomorrow 27th March will not be a family service but will go ahead as a normal Sunday service without the children and young people present Continue reading

A Reflection for Remembrance
uring this annual season of Remembrance, it is only natural, I suppose, for each generation to reflect on those who have gone before. However, when we look back, can we honestly say we compare with our forebears in terms of fortitude, dedication, and a sense of duty? Previous generations were faced with privations, difficulties and dangers that we cannot imagine. So I cannot help but feel that previous generations knew more of sacrificial living and service and even at times self-sacrifice than we do. Continue reading
