New Church Benches

Dear friends,

You might have noticed the new benches outside church; these are made from re-purposed and low maintenance material. We hope they will provide a place for people “to pause and remember” for many years to come. I write to you with an invitation, these benches have been paid for from church funds and by some donations offered in memory of departed love ones, although there will NOT be any memorial plaques on these, if you would like to make a donation toward their cost in memory of a loved one, you would be very welcome to do so. Please speak to May or Rev Sarah if you would like to do so. The second invitation is to use them, not just to sit, but also as a place to engage with people in our community, they might just be looking for a place to belong!

Blessings,

Rev Sarah
