May I post a message of warm thanks for the kind welcome we received on the Presbyterial visit last week-end. For each of us it was our first visit to Jersey and we shall retain the happiest of memories of the Island and of the good folk of the Kirk. Scripture enjoins us to practise hospitality thereby "ye may entertain strangers unawares". You certainly practised hospitality in a most gracious and loving way though, with all due respect to my colleagues, I cannot in truth say that you entertained angels ! But thank you one and all and greetings from St. Columba's Pont Street and from Robin Forrest

While on holiday in June, we visited your church and enjoyed a warm welcome, a lovely service and good fellowship with the congregation. It was nice to worship with you and we will visit again when we come back, as we definitiely will come back to the lovely island of Jersey. God bless you all. John & Anne Duff, Uddingston Burnhead Parish Church of Scotland.
The church has been undergoing alot of changes. We now have the lift which makes it alot easier for our older congregation to go upstairs for tea and coffee. -Narciso Pereira (The caretaker)
I, Valerie Buchanan & Kathleen Henry were on the island and went to morning service in your church on Su nday 15th JUly 2012 and were weclomed most warmly, we enjoyed the service and 'the Londonderry Air' just made it. We went for coffee upstairs afterwards and met Sandy and Anne Haire of St. Brelades. We got a warm reception and Sandy invited us to call at his home and left us his telephone number. Unfortunately Sandy, some unexpected friends arrived and we felt we couldn't intrude on your home with 4 extra people! Regards to all in St. Columba's and hope that the REv. Radnolph Scott MA, BD wil have manymore years of reign in your Church. I am from Dungiven Presbyterian Church, Co Londonderry, BT474SW, please feel free to contact me valerie.buchanan@btinternet.com Kindest regards to all the congregation. Valerie Buchanan
Browsing through the Internet and caught sight of this website. As a child, I, my brother & sister and parents worhipped at St Columbas Church in Midvale Road during the 1950's until 1961 when the family move from Jersey to Cornwall on the mainland.
My father, a Wilfred Mollison Clark was a Church Elder back then. I doubt if there will be anyone from those day who can still remember him.
We lived at 23 Midvale Road, a few minutes walk. Before this, we lived at St Aubins and my Dad drove us all over for Sunday Worship.
I have been back to Jersey twice, once in 2000, and again in 2001. someday, I will go back again to Jersey for a visit.
