Opening ceremony

for new church

THE new Methodist Church for the Tamar Valley will be opened on November 17. The building is currently under construction on a site in Albaston Hill and was originally scheduled for completion by the end of July. The adverse weather at the commencement of the operation has meant that the contracting firm is running at around 10 weeks behind schedule.

Members and friends are currently working on an opening programme of events which will stretch over several days of celebration. The opening ceremony and dedication service on November 17 will be by invitation only, due to restrictions to the size of the congregations. Two opening services for anyone will be held the following day.
