NOTICE

The Easter General Vestry could not be held this year due to coronavirus restrictions, but following the easing of those restrictions, we have been instructed by the central church to hold a General Vestry meeting in the first half of October. The Select Vestry has decided that the General Vestry will be held on Monday 12th October at 7.30pm in the Parish Hall (main hall). This will be provided that there are no new prohibitive restrictions introduced by the Northern Ireland government. Because of existing coronavirus regulations, numbers will be limited to 30 and places should be pre-registered.

If you do not have any Covid-19 symptoms and wish to attend the General Vestry meeting, please observe the following basic steps:

  • Telephone or text me at 07930-256564 during the week to register your intention. If I don't answer, please don't leave a voice message but ring again later, in order to avoid any confusion. If contacting me by text message, please await a confirmation reply from me.

  • Bring a note with your name and contact details, for 'track & trace'.

  • Observe 2-metre social distancing on church property.

  • Note the Church of Ireland's strong recommendation to wear face coverings during services. This is also to be taken as applying to Vestry meetings.
