Regular
Giving Envelopes
The Regular
Giving Envelopes for 2012 are now available. If
you do not yet use this method of giving please
consider it as it helps provide the church with a
REGULAR income as an envelope is provided for
each Sunday of the year. If you don't yet have a
set they are available from Peter Graham (738470)
but Ruth or a churchwarden will always pass your
name on. There are leaflets at the back of church
explaining how the scheme works. Setting up a
Standing Order is an even better way of giving
regularly - again contact me, Peter Graham, for details.
If you only
give occasionally-please use the white envelopes
provided in the pews which will enable us to
claim back the tax on that individual gift. If
you pay tax please Gift Aid your money.

or to Peter Graham (738470), or see below.
