PEW NEWS
We warmly welcome all attending our services today. Please join us for a coffee after morning service.
‘Prayer is the heartbeat of everything. Anything without prayer has no pulse.’
At the beginning of this New Year please join with others to pray for our United Benefice on Monday 9th Jan at 7.00pm at Trelowen, Rosevine or Tuesday 10th Jan at 3pm St Gerrans church. (You are welcome to come to both!)
Gift Aided Giving.
Please find your Gift Aid envelopes for this year at the rear of the church. Sorry for the delay but I have recycled spares from the past and redating/labelling took longer than I expected (but has saved lots of money!!).
If you regularly use white envelopes (even once a month) please consider using a set of coloured envelopes – just use the ones you need and throw away the others. It makes filling in the tax reclaimed form much easier if the collections are collated as I go along which is a very simple exercise with the coloured envelope system. Many thanks. Anne.
To obtain a coloured set please contact Anne Wesley (10872 580043)
