So - get yourself organised and come, for it is our Fun Day for you:

Pray for wisdom and grace for the incoming Moderator, Rev Dr Harry Uprichard, as he chairs proceedings, and the Clerk, Rev Dr Donald Watts, as he provides guidance on procedures and the business before the house.  Also remember the outgoing Moderator, Rev Dr Ken Newell, and his wife Valerie, as they take a well-earned rest and prepare to return in a few weeks’ time to their congregational family in Fitzroy.
