Helping each other
We are doing our best to think of ways we can support each other during the pandemic. We would be grateful if you could help us too, in two ways. First, to let us know if there are other ways we can help you! And second, if you can, financially. We know that many of you will have your own money matters to consider during the coronavirus outbreak but we also need to maintain our income as far as possible since, with the exception of heating, our costs will continue. If you would like to help us keep our church going, please click HERE to see the ways in which you can donate. And to see a new way of making small donations at no cost to you! Thank you!
