SYNOD 2021/23 - Preparing for our Journey Together

Webmaster • November 12, 2021

The co-promoters write: “It has been lovely to receive emails from so many lovely people throughout the diocese. People willing to embark on this adventure together. Your desire to help your community express what is in their hearts as we all learn to live in such turbulent times is admirable. We are working hard to prepare resources that will help you, but the most valuable aspect of this journey is you. You will be able to engage people we have no chance of meeting, to listen to what they have to say and ensure their voices are heard. We are therefore keen to meet you online, to share resources to help spark conversation and help you feedback the gems you will hear. Just in case you haven't yet booked to join one of our online introduction sessions please email mail@flocknote.com for details on how to register.”

VERY MANY THANKS to all our parishioners who helped to make our Christmas celebrations so peaceful and prayerful. Our altar servers, the beautiful flower arrangements, readers, eucharistic ministers, the choir and organist, church cleaners, sacristans, ushers, those who built and assembled the crib. So many people who work so hard behind the scenes to make it possible for us to celebrate Christmas worthily and well. Also thank you for your generous Christmas offerings; they are much appreciated.

Banks have been increasing their charges for processing cash “payments in” at an enormous rate and our bankers [HSBC] are no exception. This means that a significant proportion of our weekly income goes in bank charges. To help offset this expense terminals will be available in the church from this weekend to enable parishioners to use debit and credit cards to make contributions. They operate in the same way as terminals in shops, restaurants, etc. Should you wish to gift aid your donation just select the option and the terminal will prompt you to enter your details. This only has to be done once as the terminals will remember your gift aid details for donations in the future using the same card.
