    Hi,
    How do you know to tax reciept the cash offerings if I send 1 cheque for the cash?
    Do we need to do this through a charitable group, like a church or can an individual send the one cheque?
    thanks,
    Rev Mel

    This year’s World Day of Prayer was well received by all who attended. We had two other churches in Marmora participate with us (the Catholic church and the United Church). The Anglican church wasn’t represented. The Pentecostal church did their own service on March 1st. We have an interim minister who comes Saturday evening to Tuesday noon so we had our service on Monday at 11 a.m.
