HOSPITAL VISITATION
If you know of anyone ill or in hospital please pass a note (yellow card) to a member of the Duty Team or directly to the minister. Lynette Jardine will be carrying out any necessary hospital visits. It is only two weeks since Robbie finished his last chemo which is why he is still not visiting hospital wards.

PASTORAL COVER
Lynette will also be covering for the minister from Saturday, 31st December until Saturday, 7th January. If you require help in a Pastoral emergency during that period please contact Lynette on 01698-812404. This is part and parcel of Robbie’s phased return.
