7.00pm Informal Gathering in Hall
This Thursday 23rd January 2020 at 7pm till 8.30pm in
the Church Hall.
As a church we rely completely on donations, from you
the congregation and from fundraising. The PCC has
already looked at some material (called: Giving for
Life) produced by the Church of England to help
parishes be good stewards of their income and how to
engage the whole congregation in the debate. So, we
want to share this with the whole Church family.
Did you know that our weekly bill to keep our building
open is about £1,616(that is per week!!) Perhaps you
give weekly, if you pay income tax do you use the white
gift aid envelopes, or give by standing order? By the
way the pink envelopes should only be used for one off
donation or by visitors. Some churches have put card
machines to make is easier for people to donate, what
do you think about this?
There are other ideas such as encouraging an annual
review of our personal giving and of tithing or perhaps
bequeathing a donation in your will. Perhaps you have
a new and innovative idea about how we can raise
funds, perhaps you know of a grant that we can apply
for. Perhaps you have a question, whatever it is…
…come along to the hall to join in the discussion!
