Vestry Cancelled tonight

01/10/2007 By Leave a Comment

Vestry members – please note that this evening’s vestry meeting is cancelled. (I had been hoping to be well enough, but am still afflicted and don’t want to be passing what I’ve got to the rest of you).

Please deal with questions arising from this month’s reports by e-mail during the coming week. I will convene a short Vestry meeting on Sunday at 12 noon to deal with any essential decision making that cannot be covered any other way.

An attempt will be made to contact all vestry members by e-mail or telephone in advance of this evening.

Indeed, where two or three Christians gather together, you are likely to find two or three different understandings of hell.
Do you want to know what the truth about hell is? Want to know what the Bible really says about hell? [Read more…]
