Notices
Moravian Union Property
The Moravian Union continues to have property available for rent mainly at the Moravian settlements of Fairfield, Fulneck, Gomersal, Ockbrook, and Wellhouse. Due to Covid-19 restrictions these properties have at times not been able to advertise in the time-honoured way. If you are interested in considering a move to Moravian property as a tenant then please register your interest and place your name on a mailing list by contacting our estate Manager John Forrester on Tel: 01772 421566 or email: info@johnforrester.co.uk. This would also apply if you are currently a tenant but would like to be considered for another property if it became available.
The Moravian Church at Fulneck also has the Choir House which provides flats as accommodation to rent. Enquiries should be directed to the Choir House Administrator Ian Haggas on ian.haggas@aol.co.uk.
Irish District Moravian Women's Association
Due to the ongoing pandemic may I inform our ladies who had booked for our Irish Retreat in May 2020 that this will not take place until May 2022 d.v. However, Drumalis House has been very kind to us and deposits will be honoured.
Take care ladies and God bless you all.
Amendment to Synod Notice
The following is an amendment to the Synod Announcement that was published in the October Moravian Messenger. The note regarding Class B proposals should read:
'Class B - All other proposals including proposals that are to be incorporated in the Book of Order of the Moravian Church in the British Province (except Sections 2 & 3).'
We Want Your (Old) Mobile Phone
The World Mission Committee of the British Province are running a short sharp project from November to February collecting in your old no longer used mobile phones. We are asking church committees to set up a collection point in churches to take in that old mobile phone that you have lying in a drawer. The World Mission Committee will then arrange collection and/or transport to Church House. Lots of you will probably get a new phone for Christmas so consider donating your old one. So, if you have any old phones in a drawer, no matter what make or model or even cracked then we want it. Just remove any SIM card if possible. The World Mission Committee will be using these old phones to support work in our Mission Provinces.

Secretary, World Mission Committee, British Province
