ACTION PLAN! The leaders of the church have been working on an 'Action Plan' which lays out the priorities for the work of the church in the next couple of years. Reading back through old Action Plans shows that these are not just bits of paper but have helped to give much needed direction. We want now to consult you on this draft. Please email or phone or speak to your contact Deacon. We may have missed something glaring or, you might have ideas regarding the key questions about 'How' and 'Who'??
