FINANCIAL STATEMENT FOR WEEK ENDING SUNDAY 2 OCTOBER
Thank you for Last Week’s Collection: £1150. Of this, £342 was Gift-Aided. This will yield a further £85 of tax relief to the Parish. The Total Collection was therefore:£1235. This healthy collection will pay our way for the week and also allow us to save over £100 for future repares. Thank You. Please keep in mind that we need at least £1100 a week to keep the Parish going and to be ready for the inevitable rainy days.
The Rio Fund already stands at £256. Keep it up!
If you would like to gift-aid your weekly contribution, please contact Peter Lewis on 01492 546705.
Thank You for giving £128 to Feed My Lambs. This will feed about 160 starving Sudanese children for a week.
Thank you also for the £29 to the Poor Box, for the support of the local homeless poor. Providing packed lunches for Saturday and Sunday costs us about £60. Please continue to be generous with the Poor Box.
Please remember the Parish in your will. It is noticable how seldom we receive bequests from parishioners, yet for many of these the Church has been the centre of their lives. Please be generous and make sure the church of Our Lady Star of the Sea is here for your children and grandchildren.
