| Like
all Churches we encourage people to consider how much they can give financially
as part of their giving to God.
For example, if you give money in specially marked envelopes which we supply, we can recover additional money from the Inland Revenue, increasing the value of your giving. We
gain several thousands of pounds from the Inland Revenue each year through
this scheme. |
We are an active Church family who need
all sorts of gifts and skills. Often people are afraid of getting involved
for a variety of reasons:
· You may feel that being a new face you would be a gatecrasher · You may fear treading on someone else’s territory · You may fear that what you have to offer is not good enough. The Vicar will want to help you find your feet
with us without feeling the pressure that we are pushing you to get
involved. There will be a right time, but it would be good to begin
talking with the Vicar soon. So that he can be aware of your desire. |
Getting to know you |
|
| The
Church family at St. Aldhelm’s want to get to know you and we
hope that you will want to get to know us. |
|
| Each month, our parish magazine tells you about forthcoming
events such as socials, garden party, concerts, meals outings and small
groups. We encourage you to come to them. |
There
is a monthly social called the “Family Group” which arranges
outings or socials on a Tuesday evening. |
| After
Church on Sunday mornings many people go to our Church halls for refreshments.
This is another opportunity to get to know us. |
Once you have settled in with us we will invite you
to a “Welcome Meal” where you can learn more about St. Aldhelm’s. |
