Our latest newsletter looks back over 2024 at some of what's occurred in our congregational life, including holiday club and baptism photos, as well as a tribute to our late elder Charles Finlayson. We said farewell to our beloved minister Rev James Maciver and his wife Donna at the end of June as he retired from active ministry. We wish them all the best in their new pasture in Tong!
