Parish Finances
So far we have had a very good response to the Planned Giving Appeal. Several people have joined the Offertory Envelope scheme – several others have decided to give by Banker’s Standing Orders – several have also joined the Gift Aid scheme.
If you haven’t already seen the Leaflet which tells you about the financial crisis that the parish is facing please pick up one from the Porch. Supplies of Weekly Offertory Envelopes, Standing Orders and Gift Aid forms are available in the Porch.
Bingo Night
We are collecting prizes for our next bingo night. If you would like to donate prizes we would be really pleased to have them. You can leave the gifts in the Sacristy marked ‘Bingo’ or give them to Pat McQuillan or Ann Hayes.
