Changes to our St Patrick’s Day programme
Please note and share an important change to our St Patrick’s Day programme in the light of the Coronavirus pandemic.
It is our intention to go ahead with the service at Saul, the prayer pilgrimage and the Festival Service but as a precautionary measure we have cancelled lunch in the marquee.
We will of course continue to monitor the situation in the light of government advice.
Current advice may be found on the Public Health Agency website.
We do hope that you will join us for worship and to pray together for our nation.
