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
Treasurer
After 10 years serving as church treasurer, Francis Kerr has decided it is time to hand over the responsibilities. We thank Francis for his dedication in this job, if you think you could help the church as treasurer then speak to Francis, Jeremy or Richard for more details.
