 X GIFT AID UPDATE

– The envelopes have arrived!!!!! 

The new boxes of Gift Aid envelopes are now named and available from the back of the church. 

If you give anything on the card machine available in church, please write the amount and ‘CARD’ on the envelope. Most importantly, thank you for your wonderful support of your parish and Diocese. Please continue this support without which the work of the church would be so much more difficult. 

In the last tax year, we received £9.891.27 back from the Government who will pay 25% of any offerings that a registered taxpayer makes if they are a Gift Aider in the parish.  

If you pay tax and would like to sign up to this fabulous scheme, then please do so at no cost to yourself but one that will hugely benefit the parish and Diocese. 

Forms for completion are available at the back of the church and needs to be returned to the Presbytery.

X  WALK WITH ME EASTERTIDE JOURNEY OF PRAYER with daily readings and your prayers are available at the back of the church. 

Please put any money or what you can afford for the books in the newspapers box above the stoop by the door into and out of the church.
