From the Office
Security of church – Urgent!
Urgent request for all members on leaving the building to ensure the security of our facility. All group leaders are to exit via the office entry and notify a staff member they are the last to leave. If you see something that does not look right please do not ignore it but bring it to staff attention or do something about it. If you have opened the building or any part of it, then it is your responsibility to ensure the security of the complex before you leave.
Have you lost?
A number of platters and serving items have been left in the complex after the last few functions. Please check, and take your items home with you, as surplus items will be removed from the area after 4 weeks and placed in the community care bin. A lost property box is also located in the ushers cupboard at the rear of the auditorium.
