It’s great to wear your nametags

Thank you for taking the time to find and wear your nametags each week. It’s a great way to connect with newcomers, and to strengthen our community.

Time to take your photo!

Over the next coming weeks, we would like to take new photos of our church members to update our church database before Simon and Amy Chaplin join us. Please make sure you stick around after the service, so your photo can be taken.

 

Giving update

Each week we need to receive [olimometer_target id=3] in order to meet our commitments. In the last calendar month, our average weekly giving was [olimometer_progress id=3], leaving a gap of [olimometer_remaining id=3].

[olimometer id=3]

Up to the end of the last calendar month we needed to have received [olimometer_target id=1]. Compared to that total we received [olimometer_progress id=1], leaving a gap of [olimometer_remaining id=1].

Electronic giving is a great way to give! It helps us prayerfully plan our giving, and then the bank will help us keep that commitment, even when we may be unable to attend.
