This is an amazing response from you, our Church Family. A huge THANK YOU is extended to everyone who was able to donate to this appeal.
• Harvest Thanksgiving Donations. The Harvest donations totalled £475.00 which was a wonderful total especially on top of all the food donations given too. Many, many thanks to all who contributed.
