At Communion Services

If you are a communicant member of a Christian Church, you are welcome to come up to receive the bread and wine.  Otherwise you are welcome to either remain in your seat or come up to receive a blessing.  Keeping your hands down by your side will signify to the Vicar that you wish to receive a blessing.   If you have difficulty coming up to the Communion Rail and would like the Vicar to come to you, then please inform a sidesman.

PARISH GIVING SCHEME  We are introducing a new Parish Giving Scheme as an alternative to those who give regularly by Standing Order or in envelopes, especially if you are able to Gift Aid.  In this scheme we can recover the Gift Aid generated each month rather than once a year, which makes financial planning easier.  Documentation is available from Amy Cook.
