Mission Week We are having a group from Through Faith Mission (TFM) For a Mission week from the 14th -22nd September. They are coming to Prayer walk and look at what God is leading them to do out on the streets of our Parish to encourage us. There is a training evening for those interested in joining them on 3rd September 7pm - 9pm. They will be covering telling your story - in less than 4 minutes, general things to expect, behaviour, safeguarding yourself - which safeguards others. Always on mission we go out in two's or more so there is a great opportunity to share in the work too when the mission team arrive, but great to be prepared. Please sign up at the back of church so we have an idea of numbers attending. Thank you

GIVING Presently the cost of ministry is more than we are receiving. A breakdown of these figures are available from the Rev’d Peter. We would very much like as a church to be able to do more and are holding a vision day in early September. If you are a regular giver then please accept a massive thank you. Please could we ask that everyone prayerfully reviews their monthly giving. If you give by the envelopes please could you consider changing over to giving through a monthly Standing order, forms for which are available at the back of church. As a church we believe that the bible teaches that a monthly tithe to be an appropriate way of thanking God and contributing to the ongoing kingdom building work. With many thanks on behalf of the PCC.
