The total of collections at services during March, together with standing orders was £5,956 (2014 £5,111) but over £6,000 per month is needed to pay our Parish share in full. Collect Lord of all life and power, who through the mighty resurrection of your Son overcame the old order of sin and death to make all things new in him: grant that we, being dead to sin and alive to you in Jesus Christ, may reign with him in glory; to whom with you and the Holy Spirit be praise and honour, glory and might, now and in all eternity.
