Leaders Forms and Access NI
Many thanks to all the leaders and helpers who have been in touch with forms and information this week. Forms are still available at the front of the church, if needed.
The Safeguarding Team want to help make this process as quick and easy as possible and so we are running two support sessions in the church hall at the following times:
- Wednesday 3rd December – 6:45-7:45pm
- Sunday 7th December – after the evening service.
Members of the team will be there to guide you through completing forms, ensuring your AccessNI is done and recorded correctly and completing the ID verification. There will be forms available on the night but please bring along your two forms of ID so they can be checked and copied.
Thanks again for your support with this important work. Feel free to reach out to any member of the team if you have questions or need support.
Tuesday evening is our Christmas PW evening. All women and girls of the congregation are warmly invited to come along…even if you haven’t been before. You will receive an invite on the way out the door this morning, so please look out for it.
PW mission boxes are due, so if you have a box, or wish to make a contribution to this year’s projects, please give it to Jackie Campbell anytime by this Tuesday.
PW magazine money is also due, so if you would like to receive the PW Inspire magazines throughout 2026, please give your money to Connie Forster. They cost £10 for the year.
We have been asked to help with the carol singing at the switch on of the Kells and Connor lights this Friday evening. There is no longer a practice for this, but anyone able to help is asked to join at the bandstand at 7pm, and then on to the community hall at 7:30. All help gratefully received. Any questions please ask Susanne.
The lists are now available to sign up for our Church Christmas dinner on Saturday 13th December at 7pm. Everyone in the congregation, of all ages, is warmly encouraged to come along to what will be a lovely evening of church togetherness! Please sign up by Sunday 7th on the sheets on the coffee dock or in the vestibule, selecting your options for food. Prices are: babies and toddlers under school age – free, Primary school age – £5, secondary school age and adult – £8. Money payable to Hilary Ann Turtle or Lorna Murphy.
