Church Council has prepared a draft Mission Plan for 2019-22 which is built upon the mission priorities identified in our 2017 Church Profile. It reflects on our values, congregational life and community activities and will help to guide our priorities for the future. The Mission Plan will be put to the AGM in November for endorsement by the congregation.
Comments and suggestions on this draft Mission Plan should be given to our Chairperson, Chris Dodd by 30 September 2018 so that the final plan can be ready for inclusion in the AGM papers.
