January Church News<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n If you cannot make it to church, please join us online at www.ipcamlive.com\/stmarywenvoe<\/p>\n Greetings to all readers from the faithful congregation at St. Mary\u2019s.<\/p>\n The results are in for the fund-raising during Advent and the pre-Christmas period. The collection at the Community carol service raised \u00a3300 for Ty Hafan. The amount sent to the Medical Missionaries of Mary came to \u00a3250, as a donation for the repair of the \u201cChrist\u201d figure on the Rood Screen. And a message from Jude Billingham gives the results of the Christian Aid Advent Appeal.<\/p>\n The Advent Appeal results: <\/strong>Thank you so much for your generous donations for the Advent Appeal; this has now been counted:<\/p>\n Christian Aid<\/strong>: The joint appeal including Wenvoe and Sully raised \u00a3351 with an addition of \u00a364.50 for Gift Aid, bringing the total to \u00a3415.50.<\/p>\n Vale Foodbank<\/strong>: Wenvoe sent weekly carloads of Christmas Food and Goodies to the warehouse for distribution. The amount was very impressive, and the volunteers were pleased that the suggestions for donations had been taken into consideration. In addition, \u00a3265 was given. We now revert to the Thursday deliveries when the current requirements include meat products, soup, tinned spaghetti, milk, fruit juice, tinned vegetables and potatoes, and dried foods that take little cooking.<\/p>\n Thank you, Jude<\/p>\n Looking at these results, a great deal of thanks is given to those who gave so generously and to those who gave of their time to organise these events. Well done all.<\/p>\n Last month the St. Mary\u2019s 200 Club was featured as a major fund raiser for the church building fund. This fund is held quite apart from the general fund from which the running costs for the church is funded. Recently the 200 club was able to pay into the church account a sum of \u00a31,700 as a result of the renewals of shares. So once again many thanks to the organisers and to those who renewed their shareholdings.<\/p>\n These are days of high living costs, and the church is no exception; the cost of keeping the church in good condition is high. Old buildings need a lot of TLC and your church here in Wenvoe is as well-kept as can be. Our faithful members always rise to the occasion when a need arises, apart from the normal giving each week or month, and over the past year or so have been encouraged to use the Church in Wales Direct Giving Scheme. This giving plan makes the Treasurer\u2019s work much easier, and the donor does not have to worry about carrying cash to church, so no counting week by week, no paying into the bank and the cash flow is maintained as the payments come in each month without fail. We are told \u201cGod loves a generous giver\u201d \u201cand it is better to give than to receive\u201d. So once again a thank you to all who support the work of the church in Wenvoe. Thank you for reading this news of St. Mary\u2019s and for all the support you have given throughout the years.<\/p>\n God Bless and Peace be with you all.<\/p>\n Parry<\/p>\n January Church News If you cannot make it to church, please join us online at www.ipcamlive.com\/stmarywenvoe Greetings to all readers from the faithful congregation at St. Mary\u2019s.
