(The hosting provider we use to host this site will be performing maintenance on our server on the 23rd so we’d best not do anything!  We’ll reschedule the training in early December – Steve)

If you are responsible for running one of our church departments then please come along on November 23rd at 7pm and learn how to edit and update this crieffadventist.org.uk web site.

Our goal is to make this site the definitive ‘What’s happening?’ guide to events involving the church.  If it ain’t on this site then it ain’t happening.  No more looking for the bulletin you thought you’d brought back from church last week…

Let Steve or Alex know if you can attend.  If you’ve got a laptop or notebook PC please bring it along.

An opportunity to learn about ‘how to’ in a hands-on way.   If you are new to the roles below, or just want to be refreshed, this is the place to be.
