Preparing for the “Grand Opening” of St Peter’s
Wednesday 8th February 8pm in St James’ Church
And with the “launch” planned for early May, we now have three months to convert the ideas into reality.
So there will be an open evening to share ideas and – very importantly – to set up working parties to convert those ideas into reality! At this stage we imagine there may be three groups – but the evening may produce a better idea – covering: the events programme; publicity and communication and finance, fabric and furnishings. So please – come and join us – we need your ideas, your prayers, and your participation
