The next edition of the notices will be available from Sunday 13th August. Please send any items for inclusion to Jeanette before Wednesday 9th August. Thank you! These notices will be updated twice a month, so please hold onto them, don’t delete them, until you get a revised version. That will save us time and money in unnecessary reprinting and will do another small bit for the environment. The notices are also published once a fortnight on our church website at www.falmouthmethodist.org.uk 

There are still significant levels of Covid in our community. Please be careful and take all precautions you are asked to follow. Thank you.
