POSTAGE STAMPS - REMINDER
PLEASE SAVE ALL YOUR USED POSTAGE STAMPS - any country or denomination - for the Oxford Blind Association. There is a collection box in church or give them to John Salmons (Churchwarden). Thank you.

PLEASE KEEP ALL YOUR OLD GREETINGS CARDS to be recycled into fresh ones for the Christmas sale next year - a novel way of using something no longer wanted to provide something worthwhile.
So please don't throw your cards away when you take them down, but bundle them up and bring to church. Our thanks to Gill Makin, one of our newer church members, for coming up with this idea. Gill will accept any type of card throughout the whole year.
(see also below, ref. your used postage stamps).

EMERGENCY ACCOMMODATION - The serious fires last July in our area have made us realise how important it is to have somewhere to go if we are forced to leave our homes in case of any type of an emergency.
DUNCAN BURR is compiling a list of possible hosts in the event of sudden and serious need - normally for one or two nights only. If you feel that you could help out in such a situation, please let DUNCAN know what you can offer. He has a form which you can complete and return.
The information will eventually be published on this website but can then only be accessed and printed out by use of a password to be given to those participating. Details will be published when the list is collated.

GREETINGS FROM ACROSS THE MILES
A news letter is sent out each week to our friends who are away from us at this time.

You can use the form on the website mentioned above to make contact.

A TIMELY REMINDER: Perhaps you are aware ......
that not all those in church on a Sunday morning put anything in the offertory collection.
We would like to point out that this is not through meanness, but because such people give generously by Direct Debit and through this system, if they are UK Taxpayers, can give a further 28p in the pound through the "Gift Aid" scheme. This method of donations adds around 20% to our giving income. If you would like to know more about this, please contact Audrey Hathaway by phone on (0034) 950 475261 or the Churchwardens for details.
