Anniversary Exhibition
To celebrate the centenary of the opening and dedication of our present
church building, we are hoping to mount an exhibition of memorabilia
and photographs. If you have any material which you think would be of
interest, and are willing to let us borrow it, please get in touch with me.
You should identify it with name and address so that it can be returned.
