Sunday Young Peoples Group
The Sunday young people’s group for students of secondary age meets again on Sunday 12th (next week) just after 10 o’clock. The group that met in July talked about planning a contribution to worship, and one suggestion for a theme was a look at major sporting events like the Olympics and their impact on the areas they take place in. Please can anyone who will be in this group have a think about how we might do this and please can you spread the word to anyone not here who might be here next Sunday.

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 £850.11 per week which goes to the Diocese for our “Share”.
Last weeks donations were as follows: Planned Giving £384.40 (including Standing Orders) Collections £178.15. Our income tax claim produces the equivalent of an additional £170 approx per week. The shortfall is made up from fundraising—such as fetes, concerts etc. 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 every £ from the Inland Revenue).

If you are a non-tax payer, please put your loose collection straight into the collection bags when they are passed around during the service. Through our Planned Giving Scheme, you can commit a regular amount in order that we may be able to rely on a predictable income to meet our needs and esponsibilities. Whilst we are thankful to those who use the envelopes, we need new members to consider joining the Planned Giving Scheme. Please contact our Hon. Treasurer - Mr John Sprackling (01202) 751553 or via
Email: sprackling@branksomepark.freeserve.co.uk. Thank You.
