Recently $1000 and some other special amounts were donated this way . Your on-going commitment to our church is very much appreciated. If you are attending church and wish to put some form of token in the Offering Bowl to signify that you are making a Direct Debit , then it is suggested you collect a packet of the Free Will Envelopes ( available at the table in the foyer ) and place an empty envelope in the Offering Bowl .
