Church Envelopes

For the coming year all the envelopes are again in the one box, which comes into use on next Sunday, including the Priest’s revenue envelopes.  For the Monthly collection you are again invited to make payment for the year or half-year if possible.  I also invite those who don’t contribute to the collections to make a start this coming year.  A sincere ‘thank-you’ to those who do contribute and those who organise the collections.
We are also planning to send out a Questionnaire seeking your willingness to participate in various Parish ministries.

Words – Powerful Tools                                               (William Arthur Ward)
 "Words, our primary source of communication, are more than letters pierced together to form a concept. They are powerful tools to be used with the awareness that words make a difference.
Words spoken with love offer a constructive and fulfilling meal of praise, encouragement, gratitude, apology, or forgiveness to a hungry listener. They can bring positive change into another person’s life.
