We want to support this appeal again this year and hope that you’ll feel inspired to fill a box or two with Christmas presents. Leaflets will be available at St Mary’s shortly so please wait for these to give you guidance on the procedure.Please also watch out for Wendy and the trolley in the church porch and in the VSR. In this way you can donate individual items if you are unable to fill a box. Thank you. Wendy Horne and Margaret Porter
The Diocese has set up some workshops on this topic which Mike Sargent and I will be attending on behalf of St Mary's. To prepare, we need to ask the congregation of St Mary's to fill in a short questionnaire if they have just a little time, some patience and a computer! Please consider having a look at this and answering the questions. You do not need to agonise too much about the answers. Thank you, Tom WicksonThis is the link to the Cornerstone Questionnaire: https://forms.office.com/e/TmUcSFBtKk. You can cut and paste this into your web browser to access it. This will give insight into your church's approach to generosity in all its forms. It does not ask anyone to give money! Where it asks you to put in a CODE, please use your A Church Near You Code for St Mary’s Gillingham: 634171 .If you would like to fill in the questionnaire, please do so by Tuesday 7 October
