Giving Money – it is lovely that we are a very generous church.  Please could we ask that people don’t give money to people who have come to church for help due to hardship.  We do help these people regularly, but giving money often puts other temptations in their way so it isn’t always the best thing.  If you’re unsure please speak to Clare (and give her the money if need be!!)
