Notices
Crèche available during the 10am service for children aged four and under and also parents with babies. There are also some bags (containing books and materials for colouring) at the back of church to occupy children who wish to stay in church. Due to the risk of trip hazards, it would be appreciated if parents/guardians would please supervise their children whilst in the crèche and tidy up upon leaving.
Weekly giving Last week our offertory collection was £998 (standing orders £772, stewardship envelopes £15, gift aid envelopes £13, plate £198). Thank you for your gifts. Our target each week just to meet our Parish Share (without any other expenses) is £1423.
Stewardship: Many members of the congregation give monthly by bankers order and do not use the collecting plate. If you would like to do the same or use the envelope system, please contact one of the sidesmen at the back of church.
Chip and Pin: We are pleased to advise that we are now able to accept donations by chip and pin – card reader available at the back of church.
QR code It is now much easier to give to the mission and upkeep of your church by just using this QR code. Try it and see how simple it is – thank you.
Prayer list: The names of those who are ill or in need of prayer will remain on the prayer list for three weeks. However, we realise that some people may need to be on for longer and, if this is the case, please speak with Carol Sharman who will be happy to arrange this.
