Decorating the church for Christmas sometime between next Sunday lunchtime and 12 mid-day on 23rd Dec. We need a co-ordinator and some volunteers, pleas; especially those who can make Christmas trees look amazing!
Christmas ‘post box’ is at the ‘back of the church’. Do check by both your first and surname, everyone can use the post box to send cards to one another within this voluntary system.
CHRISTMAS OFFERING:- We take the opportunity to remind you that the collection at the Christmas Masses is your personal offering to Fr. Ian. This collection, along with the Easter Offering, is his major source of income for the year, through which he has to finance car depreciation and replacement, clothes, books, holiday etc. etc.
As we now live in a ‘cashless society’ (most people using bank cards and BACS) any offering you might make in such a way, needs to be clearly annotated ‘Christmas Offering’ or ‘Fr. Ian, Christmas’
That said, there are ‘Christmas Offering’ envelopes available for cash or cheques as well, which are just as graciously accepted.
In case you are going to be away over Christmas, you might like to use the ‘Christmas Offering’ envelopes which are readily available at the entrances to the church, these can be returned at any time. In whatever way you are able to contribute, we ask you to be as generous as you can. Many thanks.
