Manse Extension  The cost of the manse extension will  be approx. £58000 and the Congregational Board has been offered a loan from the General Trustees of £20000 to meet the current funding gap. This would need to be repaid over 5 years at 5% interest. We would like to avoid taking this loan if possible and if you can help by making a donation or are in a position to offer an interest free loan to the church, please contact the Session Clerk, Treasurer or your Elder as soon as possible.
