Sunday School

Usually SS takes place on the 2^nd, 3^rd, 4^th and 5^th Sundays of the month during term time. Children come to church in the usual way and then leave with their leaders after about 10 minutes. Children must be registered, even if you did so last year. Go to the link: https://forms.gle/E83mH3X1Ft95pXHP9

SCAMS

The Church of Ireland, together with other churches in Ireland, is drawing attention to the various resources that are available to help prevent any of us falling victim to a scam. One of the best tools for tackling any scam is to remember the four–point ‘scam test’ which anyone can use if a cold caller gets in touch, or if they receive suspicious post or online messages:

Seems too be good to be true
Contacted out of the blue
Asked for personal details
Money requested

he and his whole household.
