Many in our congregation are very generous, but we need to
increase our income further to address the continuing deficit and

expected additional expenses. Could we please ask you to think
about God’s generosity and prayerfully consider your response and
in particular whether you can further help financially.

We appreciate that not everyone is in a position to offer
financial help. The last few years have not been easy for any of
us, as we have continued to emerge from Covid and face cost of
living increases. We realise that some of us face big constraints
on our finances, so there is no pressure to give. As a church
working together, we need to address our financial situation and by
the grace of God put our finances on a more even and sustainable
footing.

Please do not hesitate to contact our Treasurer,
Martin Barnett, or any of the Elders if you have any questions
about our church’s finances or should you wish to increase your
giving.

Very many thanks

Every blessing
The Elders of Swanage URC

Thou didst leave Thy throne and Thy kingly crown
A reflection from Graham Needs

Thou didst leave Thy throne
and Thy kingly crown,
when Thou camest to earth for me;
but in Bethlehem’s home
there was found no room
for Thy holy nativity:
O come to my heart, Lord Jesus,
there is room in my heart for Thee.
