So, for our last WESTERTON CHURCH MAGAZINE, we present an online version for you to enjoy, so just click here to access it. Happy reading!

Calling All Designers : It’s time to design a logo for Boclair Community Church - something that is instantly recognisable, but speaks to the purpose and values we have as a people. If you have interest in this area get in touch with Martin Perry via church office in the next week or so as we would love to have a design ready fairly soon. Thanks
