Song and Hymns Survey – Feedback
In May this year the fellowship were asked to provide Andrew with their three favourite hymns or songs. To provide some feedback on that survey, we can report that, in the period since the completion of that survey (seventeen Sundays), 34 different hymns/songs have been used from the list (out of 127 different selections). At least one has been used every week.

There will be a prayer meeting on Wednesday morning and Saturday morning at 9.30 am.
