SEPTEMBER NETWORK

It is anticipated that the September Network will be distributed during the course of this week. However, due to an unavoidable problem there may be some delay in the delivery of some of the PAPER copies. We apologise for this inconvenience but would ask that anyone who does not receive their copy by the end of the week – or if you hear of anyone who does not receive their copy – that you either inform the person who delivers your copy, or contact Ruby at the Cornerstone office with your name and address and we will endeavour to make sure that a copy is delivered to you. 

Postal copies will also be affected.

This is a temporary problem and will be resolved in time for the next edition of Network, which will contain details of the Advent /Christmas season.

Thank you for your understanding.

Please make sure that tickets are paid on or before the end of the church service on SUNDAY 6th October to ensure that the booking fee is NOT added.
