Money given during Lent makes up a major part of our charitable giving. Could you please put some money in the envelope each week during Lent and bring your envelope back on Easter Sunday. Thank you. Please look at Veronica’s display giving much more information about the charities. On Palm Sunday 9th April there will be a special service with reading and choral items, as we begin Holy Week.
