Linda and Frank

The new heating systems in the church and the halls have been installed!  ACE Heating did a wonderfully quick and efficient job over three weeks in July when we were all out of the building.  A new sound system was also installed in the church at the same time to save lifting carpets and floorboards more than once!  Inevitably, this created lots work preparing and tidying up.  And most of that fell to our two employees – Linda Gilchrist, our Church Officer and Frank Gardner, our Caretaker.  They are heroes!  Unsung usually – but not this time!  Their efforts on our behalf were above and beyond the call of their duty – and we thank them.  Next time you see them, thank them yourself!  They are good people.
