Recent Changes

  1. In recent years the following changes have occurred:

    - The decision was taken to sign up to an ecumenical covenant. John 17:20-21 tells us that Jesus prayed: 'I pray... that all of them may be one'. Every step we take towards unity is an answer to the prayer of our Lord and Saviour Himself.

    - In 2013 Chris Thompson stood down as minister after seven years' service. Discussions have begun to consider the way forward for our fellowship.
