School Vouchers
Some of the major supermarkets, including Sainsburys, are currently offering
vouchers for various school-based schemes. If you get offered vouchers and have
no other outlet for them, please accept them and bring them to church. Put them
into the School Vouchers box just inside the church door, and we shall make sure
they get to our church school, St. Georges Primary. Many Thanks, Wendy
.
Giving
We ask anyone who wants to commit themselves to this Church and
its Vision to consider seriously giving to it please. Whilst the Church
teaches tithing, giving ten percent of your income, we know that
those on the lowest income may only be able to give a few percent
each week; whilst others may be able to give considerably more.
Please let God speak to you and your children and then speak to one
of us about regular giving.
Thank you. Mike
