We held a successful ‘Bells and yells’ fundraising event, inviting people to display their wedding dresses and Christening robes. We also had the local florists and bakers doing displays over the weekend. Schools came in free but others paid an entrance fee. The weekend ended with the bishop doing a mass renewal of wedding vows service.
We don't pass a plate at baptisms but we get children from the family to stand at the back with a plate at the end. People give more to cute family members than to Church Wardens!
