Parish Giving

Your church

 

Your giving sustains the ministry in your parish, measured

by every:

• sick person visited

• parent, carer and child nurtured and supported at Noah’s Ark

• bereaved family comforted

• family welcomed and nurtured at Mossy Church

• baptism and wedding celebrated

• elderly person given companionship at the Tuesday Tea Club

• person worshiping in different ways across the parish

• person shown the love of Christ through our care, comfort and compassion

​

Your giving sustains our clergy and helps to train new clergy; it also sustains the three church buildings - St James, St Laurence, St Nicholas 

 

Your charitable giving sustains the mission here in your parish, in the wider community and in the rest of the UK and overseas for people we may never meet but to whom we can give practical support through your giving.

 

Our challenge

 

Continuing our ministry and mission is only possible through the dedicated commitment of time, skills, energy and financial support.

  

Our three churches need £8,500 per month (or £1,950 each week) to sustain the ministry, clergy, buildings and mission.

 

This is how much we need to spend each month:

£5,800   on our share of clergy costs - stipend, housing, training etc

£1,100   on our buildings - insurance, heat, light etc

£1,100   on worship and ministry - for our congregation and wider community

£500       on ministry and mission

 

Therefore, to meet these commitments each month we need:

£5,600     from regular congregational giving

£1,400     from HMRC for Gift Aided giving and donations

£750        from fees - weddings, funerals etc

£750        from fundraising and other income streams

​

Your choice

 

Our parish has 140 members on the Electoral Roll, our planned giving programme has 63 members
