OUTWARD GIVING For those not at the Annual Vestry Meeting, the MAC has agreed to give 5% of our annual unrestricted income to good causes aligned with our mission and values. We plan to support 3 organisations – one local, one national and one international – for a 3-year period, keeping in close touch with their work. Please send any suggestions for good causes in each category to Mel (Lay Chair) or the MA office by Sunday 10 May – the MAC will then select a shortlist for everyone to vote on.

HELP WITH MAGAZINE EDITING We need someone to join the Magazine Team to edit the quarterly magazine. You would only need to do it once or twice a year. Help and training can be given, but you need a computer and to be familiar with using MS Word. If interested, please email magazine@penarthministryarea.com

MAY MAGAZINES are in churches so please don’t forget your copy.
