What happens next? An update on Stewardship Sunday      Inigo Woolf

In October we appealed to you for an additional £15,000 in committed giving. I am delighted to report that we received some very generous one-off gifts in the past month which help us meet our cash target for 2013. However, because they will not necessarily be repeated, they leaveus with an even greater challenge in 2014.

The Parochial Church Council will meet in February to approve a budget for 2014. We are looking carefully at all our costs as current pledges for 2014 are not sufficient to fund all the activities outlined in our Mission Action Plan. However we are encouraged by your support so farand will advise you in March of how much more we need to raise in 2014.

If you have not already done so, would you please make or increase your pledge for 2014? Please contact Peter Ginnings, Stewardship Secretary, through the church office or me if you want further information.
