GIVING IN GRACE UPDATE
Thank you so much for all your responses to our Giving in Grace stewardship campaign earlier in the year. It has taken a little while to accurately assess all of the responses and changes to giving, but in summary, there has been an overall increase in regular monthly giving (including Gift Aid) of £1062 per month, which equates to £12,744 per year!

We are very grateful to all who responded and for your generosity, which will help to enable all that we believe God is calling us to do here in the parish.

For further information about the responses, and information about how you can respond if you weren’t able to at the time of the campaign, please click on the attached link:

And God is able to bless you abundantly,so that in all things at all times, having all that you need,you will abound in every good work.
2 Corinthians 9:8
