Church goers at All Saints’ Church Milford on Sea had a massive surprise when a mystery donor gave a £200,000 gift to help solve its financial issues.
Parishioners had held prayers during which the money worries at All Saints' Church were included. In due course an anonymous benefactor then donated £3,000 and later, to the great surprise of Dominic, our local vicar, another gave a massive £200,000.
The extremely generous donations will be used to continue the church's work with young people and families in the New Forest.
Our very own, Rev Dominic Furness, was quoted on BBC News as saying it was a "wonderful gift" which had moved some of the 250-strong congregation to tears at the Grade I-listed Norman church.
Whether a believer or not, the generosity of the two anonymous donors is extraordinary, and a great gift to the village and local youngsters. Well done, whoever you are!
