Geocache Description:

This cache is on the OUTSIDE of the Rosebank Union church as it is a fitting location for this cache.

The cache is NOT at the listed Coordinates.

I have removed all spaces from the text as well as added some additional characters to the end of the text in an attempt to prevent reverse engineering.
You will need to solve a two part puzzle to determine the final coordinates.

Solve the following to get the final Coordinates:
