Almighty Father, who in your great mercy gladdened the disciples with the sight of the risen Lord: give us such knowledge of his presence with us, that we may be strengthened and sustained by his risen life and serve you continually in righteousness and truth; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

General Information
Parish Giving Scheme
Many members of our church use the Parish Giving Scheme to make their gift each month. This is a Direct Debit scheme which also reclaims Gift Aid. This is enormously helpful since, although we are not meeting in church, our expenditure has not substantially changed. We still need to support our mission, pay the insurance on the church building, continue our outward giving and contribute towards our parish share which covers clergy costs across the diocese, including Bolney.

If you give through PGS and want to adjust your giving you can contact them at info@parishgiving.org.uk or call 0333 002 1260.

please visit www.parishgivingscheme.org.uk quoting our PGS Parish Code: 100 610 153.

Please help by being vigilant
Even though our church is currently locked and being checked every day for any intrusion, if you are walking by, please continue to be vigilant from the outside. Contact either churchwarden is you are suspicious of any untoward activity.

Plastic milk bottle tops
Please continue to save your plastic milk bottle tops. Once church is open again please drop them in the bin. They raise funds for the Chestnut Tree Children's Hospice resources. It is worth noting that these tops cannot be recycled in your wheelie bin.
