FAMILY SERVICE: After Christmas, I am hoping to change the format of the early service in order to better accommodate the children. I am due to be in discussion with the Sunday School staff and members of the Worship Committee in order to take soundings. It seems important to pitch the service in such a way that the children are welcomed and valued and also that adults receive worship appropriate for them. Together we are on a journey and I would ask for your support, encouragement and grace as we work to evolve the service. The Minister.
