Presbytery of Hamilton Directory of Community Provision Page

The Presbytery of Hamilton is a presbytery of the Church of Scotland

A Directory of Community Provision

NB: THIS IS NOW AN OLD DOCUMENT; THE LAST SUBSTANTIVE CHANGES WERE IN MARCH 2000!

This directory of community provision was compiled under the auspices of the Presbytery's Church and Social Interests Committee. The on-line document was produced by exporting the Word original, so it is simply a single, long page - with all the limitations that implies.
