Recycling Stamps for CharityThank you to everyone who has donated stamps for Against Breast Cancer UK. As I write this, you have donated over 1kg of stamps. I will be removing the box from the porch of St. Giles at the beginning of March and sending off the collection.Please continue to save your stamps. I have collected for my chosen charity for two years now, and I think it has been very successful. If you would like to use this as a means for collecting for your chosen charity in the future, please create a box and put a notice in the pew sheet and the magazine. Helen Roberts |

ABOUT ST. GILES CHURCH
Monthly Bulletins
It has now been 5 years since we started sending out our monthly Bulletin as a result of the Covid pandemic and I know from various feedback that the Bulletin is very much appreciated. Going forward I remain very committed to making sure that all of us who love St. Giles are kept informed not only of what is going on at our Church but encouraged in the understanding and practice of the Christian faith. In the future we will continue to write to you but every other month making sure that our bulletins coincide with the important occasions in the Church's year. Our next Bulletin will be sent out in July.Matthew
