CHAPLAINCY

FINANCES
Bankers Orders for the Parish and Parish Centre amount to £3800 per
month. Every month, we pay a levy of £1450 to the Diocese. We are grateful
for your generous support in collections. If you can manage a little more
from time to time, it would be a great help. A Standing Order would make the
handling of money so much easier. Have you signed a Gift Aid form? If you
are a taxpayer the Church would get 25p added to every £1 you donate.
We have had a legacy of £300 this week.
OFFERTORY COLLECTION
Last weekend's Offertory collection amounted to £557.92 - many thanks.
FABRIC
AND MAINTENANCE COLLECTION
Last weekend's Fabric and Maintenance collection amounted to £232.88
- many thanks.
ANNUAL MISSION APPEAL
This weekend, our annual Mission appeal will be made by Father Willy Brandon
of the Society of African Missions.
GIFT AID
The Inland Revenue now requires us to use a new style of Gift
Aid form. These are available at the back of the Church and on the parish
website. If you pay tax, please complete the new form and return it to the
box provided. This allows us to provide the additional information required
on the Gift Aid claim. Gift Aid is a vital source of income. All that is needed
is that you pay tax. You simply declare that you give funds to the Church.
We do the rest. Why not sign a form today? We get back an extra 25p for every
£1 you give the Church in your weekly collection or by way of a donation.
There is no need to cancel or renew it. We simply claim in the income we receive.

Our parish records are covered by the Data Protection Act and are for parish
use only. We cannot give out phone numbers or addresses. Please help us to
keep our records up to date using the cards provided.

It seeks to safeguard the welfare of people of all ages who are involved in
whatever capacity with

is the responsibility of all of us, ordained, professed, paid and
