Please note that one prerequisite of these classes is regular attendance at worship.

As the congregations are aware for the last number of years we have been trying to get some extra help for Philip and sadly this has not materialised. However, as we seek to explore different avenues for additional help for the four congregations, the opportunity of having another minister for a period of 6 months has become possible. We are hoping that from January 2025 for a period of 6 months the Rev. Jon Dennis and his family from Canada will join with us. Please do pray for the paperwork and logistics which have to be ironed out over the coming weeks. This opportunity is being facilitated by a generous donation from CMI.
