*** CHURCH GIVING AND THE PARISH FINANCES ***

Owing to the Covid protocols, the Sunday 10am Service attendance has been slow to recover despite we being permitted to have 30 people at worship.  As a result the collections have been reduced and the parish finances suffering.  Can I encourage our parishioners to contribute on a regular basis by using the banking details below.  Apart from the Op Shop all of our fund -raising efforts have been suspended, so the need is considerable.    Noel

CHURCH OPEN AGAIN DURING THE WEEK !                                                                                                        

To make this possible we need volunteers who are able to give one hour on Thursday or Friday to be in the church to monitor and assist visitors who wish to enter the church for prayer.  List on the table for names.  Speak to Noel if you are interested in this Covid safe normal action.
