ON
SATURDAY
14th September 2019
in
ST JOHN’S MILL
from 10am - 1pm
We look forward to welcoming our guest speaker :
Rt Reverend Frank White
and his topic will be :
“The Ministry of All - discerning our own vocation”
There is no set charge for ISN meetings though a suggested voluntary donation of £10 helps to defray our expenses. However, no one is EVER asked for money (we just provide a basket at the back of the room, for anyone to place a donation if they wish) so please DO NOT stay away for financial reasons. What a great way to spend a Saturday morning - gathering together, sharing, reflecting and learning from one another! We look forward to seeing you, after our little summer break, on Saturday14 September, and to renewing fellowship and friendship
