join our band of gift-aiders? By put-

ting their weekly offering on the plate

in special envelopes, or by Standing

Order to the parish bank account,

they add an extra 25% to their contri-

butions because we claim back the

associated tax. This already makes a

significant difference to our income,

but as costs continue to rise more

such contributions would be very

welcome. Please speak to Frank Mor-

gan about it. He will explain how easy

it is.
