This will help to provide a better understanding of thinking, perceptions and positions within the denomination. This research by the Council for Global Mission, along with other data collection, will help shape how PCI can best engage with the issue of climate change and creation care. The survey is anonymous and should only be completed by members of PCI congregations. The survey takes around 5 minutes to complete and will be available to complete from 20 September – 31 October. It can be found on the PCI website by visiting: https://www.presbyterianireland.org/stewardshipofcreation Church Finances After our recent Committee meeting we realise that everyone has extra demands upon their finances, but it also means that Church expenses have increased significantly over the last year. We have taken a number of measures to reduce our expenditure but giving has also decreased over the last year. We have four months before the year end to address this and would ask you to prayerfully consider your response. The offering each week is received before and after the service via the plates in the vestibule or by transfer into the main Church Account no. 71013858 Sort Code 95-04-28 Stained Glass Window Refurbishment The two large circular stained glass windows have been removed for refurbishment.
