 WEEKLY/ MONTHLY GIVING ENVELOPES With the merger of our churches in 2022, we are looking at ways to simplify our processes. If you use the envelope scheme please would you consider giving by Direct Debit if at all possible. However, we appreciate not everyone will want this. Please contact our GA Secretary, Jane Broad, should you wish to switch to making donations automatically by Direct Debit. Jane can be contacted on 07769 337969 janebroad69@outlook.com .  Also, if you want to change to monthly envelopes instead of weekly ones, please let Jane know as she is preparing them for next year.

CHILDREN’S SOCIETY CARDS Ann Lush now has the Christmas cards in stock and asks anyone who would like them to contact her 029 20703547
