Millport Weekend 7^th – 9^th February, 2025:  We have not quite reached the number needed but are going ahead in faith that this weekend won’t make a loss. If you are still thinking about taking advantage of this opportunity to share fellowship, food and fun – in comfortable accommodation and a peaceful setting – with old and new friends across UICS, please pray and decide upon it NOW! Just put your deposit in an envelope marked with your name and “Millport” in the offering plate at your normal worship centre. If you are coming on your own it would be helpful to put a note in the envelope indicating whether you would like a room to yourself or, if willing to share an en-suite twin room, the name of anyone with whom you have agreed to share.
