See! The winter is past;
the rains are over and gone.
12 Flowers appear on the earth;
the season of singing has come,
the cooing of doves
is heard in our land.
Song of Songs 2: 11-12

Giving to St. James’ and St. Peter’s
Your Parish Needs You: We are sorry to report that the parish is continuing to have some financial difficulty, having never recovered numbers following Covid, and the cost of heating and maintenance of both churches. Please could we ask you to think and pray about your giving. We firmly believe that giving is a part of our Christian faith and witness of Christ.
Giving a little extra each week, or making a one off donation, would help enormously. There are several ways to do this:
Completing a Parish Giving form and returning it to a member of the PCC.
Making a standing order through your bank. Our banking details are: Barclays Bank PLC. Account Alveston PCC
