OFFERORY GIVING: We are most grateful to you for your very generous weekly offerings which support our parish, enabling us to maintain and develop our properties and cover all our bills. At the recent parish meeting it was noted that a large part of the weekly offering is in loose plate. If this was Gift Aided it would increase your offering to the parish by 25% as we could reclaim the tax paid from the Government. If you do not already Gift Aid please consider doing so by using a weekly offertory envelope or a standing order.
