Offertories

My first paragraph in the New Year will consist of a list of the 1913 charities which you who are Churchpeople in deed as well as name have assisted with heartiness and generosity. The January collection, will be given towards our own parish “Sick and Poor” Fund, which (added to the Early Communion Service offertories) forms a little fund which helps towards the occasional needs of our own people.
