The committee would like to thank all members who contributed flowers, floral decorations and donations towards the Easter decorating of the Church. And a special thank you to those who came along on Easter Saturday morning to assist in the decorating. But helpers rallied and the Saturday morning was transformed from an anxious few hours into an industrious and happy occasion. The Balliol Consort have created a varied and interesting programme, including music from each of the last five centuries. All proceeds from the concert will be given to St. John's.
Tickets are available from members of the vestry or at the door.
The income from the house to house collection this year can be increased greatly as a result of the new tax relief measures, which came into being in April. The Government has agreed to forgo its tax relief on all cash donations to charity, if they are given in a properly marked envelope. At the current rate of tax relief 1 can be worth 1.28 to Christian Aid. If you are a tax payer all you have to do to increase your giving in this way is to put your name and address on the back of the envelope and tick the appropriate box. If you have any queries about this please get in touch with me, either at Church or by telephone on 262734.
