However difficult a time this is for all of us I thought you would welcome some guidance as to how you could help. I hope the following suggestions will enable you to continue to subscribe as generously and regularly as in the past.
Option A If you are a regular subscriber by freewill envelope you may send it by cheque made payable to:-

Holywood Methodist Church

Always ensuring that you add your Free-will Offering envelope number
- Rather than do it weekly a monthly cheque would be very acceptable.
Option B would be to subscribe by direct debit.
