SHOEBOX APPEAL
A huge thank you to everyone who has sent shoe boxes or items in for the Link to Hope charity. On Sunday 1st November 70 shoeboxes were blessed by Canon Chris Butt. They are now on their way to families and the elderly who are in need in Eastern Europe. They bring will bring great joy and hope to all those who receive them, many of whom do not even have electricity or running water.
****************
The Church roof has been undergoing major repairs and is now finished.
Photos to come.
However, the cost of repairs has only partially been met. About £70,000 still needs to be raised. This is a very challenging time for many, but if you are able to make a donation you will be investing in the long term future of the church building, the spiritual home to which the community has come in times both good and bad, for celebration, for mourning and thanksgiving.

THE PARISH GIVING SCHEME
Many people give generously to support St. Peter’s through the Parish Giving Scheme, by Standing Order or by Direct Debit, all of which can be Gift-Aided. However, as there are no services taking place, it is not possible to place your offering, in whatever form, on the collection plate. If you would like to continue to give, please do deliver envelopes to the cloister parish office letter box or contact the parish office for details of how to change to one of the online methods. To join the Parish Giving scheme go to https://www.parishgivingscheme.org.uk/for-donors or phone 0333 002 1271.
Do consider this as a means of giving – those of us who use it find it very simple and straightforward. We thank you for your continued care and concern for the work of the church.
Another way to raise money for the church is through EASYFUNDRAISING. If you shop online you can easily become a supporter and every time you order on-line, a donation is automatically made to us directly from those participating retailers. Click here for more details.
