Issue 12
Readers of this Newsletter probably do not need to be told that all our parishes struggle to raise sufficient funds to meet their costs. The major elements of our parish expenditure are a contribution towards the paid ministry we receive (i.e. the Rector), a contribution to the cost of central Diocesan support services, the maintenance of our church buildings and our insurance and utility bills.
Newsletter 11
'Shared Local Ministry' is the term being used by the Diocese to describe a model of ministry which, it is hoped, will enable us to continue our witness and service in these parishes.

Bruton Telephone Buddies
St. Mary's has organised a group of volunteers called the Telephone Buddies. If you are unable to get out and do not have anyone looking after you, or if you are lonely or feeling isolated and would like someone to ring you up for a chat; if you are worried and don't know where to turn for help then please phone 01749 321742 and leave a message on the answer phone. One of our volunteers will pick up your message and endeavour to get back to you as soon as possible.
