Harvest Appeal – Thank you to everyone who supported our appeal – An amazing sum of £1,100 was raised.
St. Mary’s vestry keys
If you hold a key but no longer use it/only use on occasion, can you please return it to the parish office ASAP.
Due to the specialised lock, new keys cannot be cut. We urgently need spares for new staff/regular volunteers.
A new lock will have to be installed otherwise, which will be a significant cost.
**If you have a set of keys with a yellow plastic key fob – can you please return to Elaine ASAP - these belong to the office** Thank you.
Intercessor required for Sun 23rd December in St. Mary’s, please let Elaine know if you can help.

The Foodbank needs us!
The Deal area foodbank is currently giving out twice as much food as it’s receiving.
Please help. Bringing just one item of food each time you come to Church would make a huge difference.
There are lists of what is most needed in each church, and donations can be left at any time in the tubs at the back of the churches. Many thanks
The Collection
If you are a UK Tax Payer we would encourage you to use the Gift Aid envelope for your collection. Please ensure you complete all sections. The parish will be able to reclaim an extra 25p for every £1 placed in the envelope. Envelopes are available on the pews or with the hymn books. Thank you.
