Pastor’s Letter – March 5

Hello Church, Last Sunday we heard about the upcoming church AGM for Sunday March 26 after church. There is a rare breed of people who hear ‘AGM’ and think, “Great, I’ve so been looking forward to this!” If that’s you, I praise God for the diverse gifts he gives to his church!
