Although it is reassuring to know that income from lettings is increasing again after the reduction during COVID, we still have many calls on our funds. Salaries, both full and part-time must be paid; utility bills have to be met; the work of Oxford Friends Action on Poverty (OxFAP) is underwritten; and there is always a need for maintenance work. We also make an annual contribution to Britain Yearly Meeting proportionate to the total number of our members and attenders.<\/p>\n<div class='dropshadowboxes-container ' style='width:auto;'>\r\n                            <div class='dropshadowboxes-drop-shadow dropshadowboxes-rounded-corners dropshadowboxes-inside-and-outside-shadow dropshadowboxes-lifted-both dropshadowboxes-effect-default' style=' border: 1px solid #dddddd; height:; background-color:#f0f5f0;    '>\r\n                            <\/p>\n<p>Please give as much as you can manage, to help us fulfil our responsibilities to each other and to the population of Oxford and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>The best means of payment is via BACS Bank transfer to:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Cooperative Bank<br \/>\nSort code: 08-90-38<br \/>\nAccount Number: 50000898<br \/>\nAccount Name: Oxford Quaker Meeting<br \/>\nR\/C 1137898<\/p>\n<p>Cheques \u2013 CAF or mainstream bank \u2013 made payable to:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Oxford Quaker Meeting<br \/>\nand sent to the Office,<br \/>\nSt Giles, Oxford OX1 3LW. \r\n                            <\/div>\r\n                        <\/div>\n<hr>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"312\"><a class=\"fasc-button fasc-size-medium fasc-type-glossy fasc-rounded-medium fasc-ico-before dashicons-arrow-left-alt fasc-style-bold\" style=\"background-color: #0315a3; color: #ffffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/oxfordquaker.com\/newsletter\/august-2022\/my-most-memorable-experience-of-ministry\/\">Previous Article<\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: right;\" width=\"312\"><a class=\"fasc-button fasc-size-medium fasc-type-glossy fasc-rounded-medium fasc-ico-before dashicons-arrow-right-alt fasc-style-bold\" style=\"background-color: #0315a3; color: #ffffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/oxfordquaker.com\/newsletter\/august-2022\/ministry-of-peril\/\">Next Article<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"fasc-button fasc-size-medium fasc-type-glossy fasc-rounded-medium fasc-ico-before dashicons-arrow-up-alt fasc-style-bold\" style=\"background-color: #0315a3; color: #ffffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/oxfordquaker.com\/newsletter\/august-2022\/\">Back to August 2022 Newsletter Main Page<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>Forty-Three<\/em> Newsletter \u2022 Number 520 \u2022 August 2022<br \/>\n<\/strong>Oxford Friends Meeting<br \/>\n43 St Giles, Oxford OX1 3LW<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"mailto:newsletter@oxfordquakers.org\">newsletter@oxfordquakers.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Copyright 2022, Oxford Quakers<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Judith Atkinson This month&#8217;s special collection is for Oxford Local Meeting.
