WMC: September 2018
Thank you all very much for church sitting on Saturday 8 Sept. Carolyn, Gordon, Alison and I all cycled around churches and the weather conditions were good. The church had 31 visitors, which is about the same as past years, although the day did seem very quiet and we didn't meet many others on the road. From experience we can tell you that it is a joy to arrive at churches which have smiling welcomers, and a bit of a let-down when there is no-one and just a sheet to sign. So thank you very much for providing a warm welcome to everyone.
