Change home page layout

Hi, love this theme, but want to have the “welcome” post below the featured posts, so that I get the three featured posts directly under the slider, then the welcome message.

I also don’t require the latest news/events section on home page that is at the right of the welcome post – how do I remove this please?

Can you help with all this please – many thanks, its a great theme, really easy to work with – thanks. Neil
