We are starting a new Parish Fundraising Committee!
Our parishioners Sheila McDowall and Alicia Brown are looking to put together a group to propose and develop ideas for fundraising and bringing the Parish community together.
They're looking for brainstormers, business minds, planners and other contributors to help to rebuild the Parish's financial stability and fellowship after the last few difficult years.
Sheila would love to hear from you on
