Gas & Electricity – new fixed contract for church and hall
As a PCC we have agreed a new fixed contract for our gas & electricity.
The additional total cost for this year will £7552 more than we are currently paying. This is a significant increase and we do not want this to have a
negative impact on the current ministry of All Saints Childwall.
Thank you so much to all of you that have given £50 towards the increased energy costs. We have received 30 gifts so far. Please prayerfully consider if you can join us and give an additional amount by the end of February 2024.
Any amount towards the increased cost of our energy bill will obviously be very welcome. If you are a tax payer we are able to claim the tax back which will increase the value of your gift. Please see the stewardship table at the back of church for further information.
Thank you – PCC of All Saints Childwall
