This Tuesday
At 12 noon this Tuesday there will be a service of Holy Communion with Prayers for Healing.

Church Flowers
We would be grateful for any contributions, great or small, for the church flowers. This would be much appreciated as Remembrance Sunday is not far off and our funds need a boost. Many thanks, please see Dee Anderson or Faye Pay.

DID YOU KNOW YOU CAN SUPPORT YOUR CHURCH, EVEN WHEN YOU’RE NOT HERE?
Our expenditure amounts to approximately £1,400 per week.
This includes £911.86 per week which goes to the Diocese for our ‘Share’
Last weeks donations were as follows:
Planned Giving £662.50 (including standing orders)
Collections £297.69
Our income tax claim produces the equivalent of an additional £170 approx. per week. The shortfall is made up from fund raising.

If you pay Income Tax, in each chair can be found a yellow giving envelope. Loose collection can be placed in these envelopes, completing the details requested (this will enable us to reclaim 28p in the £ from the Inland Revenue). If you are a non-tax payer, please put your loose collection straight into the collecting bag when this is passed round during the service.

Through our Planned Giving Scheme, church members commit a regular amount of money in order that we may be able to rely on
a predictable income to meet our needs and responsibilities. Whilst we are grateful to those who contribute through the loose collections/Gift Aid envelopes, we need new members to join the Planned Giving scheme.

For further information please contact our Hon. Treasurer, Mr John Sprackling on (01202) 751553 or by e-mail via
sprackling@branksomepark.freeserve.co.uk who will be please to provide you with a box of
Weekly or Monthly envelopes or a standing order form.
