The Annual Financial Report
Posted
The financial report to the Parish for 2017 is now available. Some highlights are the 70% increase in committed regular giving as a result of the Stewardship campaign and an increase in the offertory income compared to 2016. On behalf of the Parish, the Finance Committee are grateful to all those parishioners who have generously committed to regular giving. If you are a UK taxpayer and have not yet signed a Gift Aid Declaration, we would like to encourage you to do so as Gift Aid brings in a significant portion of our income.

Lenten Project 2018 envelopes
Posted
There are Lenten project envelopes available for those who wish to give their alms on a weekly basis. Please take five envelopes for each of the weekends in Lent and return them by posting in the big black box at the back of the church. All donations will go to our chosen charities - Together as One and Mary's Meals.
Thank you for your generosity.
We need you!

We know you have great ideas and talents; please put these to use and help us raise as much money as we can for them.
For any ideas or offers of help, please contact Sarah Watts on mckendrysarah@hotmail.com
