Giving at St Mary's

To support God's work through the Church by giving of our Time, using our Skills, giving our Money.

Christian Stewardship

Is a way of seeing our relationship with God and in November each year we hold an annual renewal of our commitment of service to God.

The Principles of Christian Giving are:

All that we have belongs to God - We are not owners, but trustees or stewards. In the bible a Steward of a household was responsible and a trusted manager.

  • We should use what we've been given in His service
  • We should give out of gratitude in proportion to what we have
  • But first we should give ourselves to the Lord.
  • How to support our work through Planned Giving

What is Planned Giving?

Planned Giving is a way of giving regularly to help fund the work of our Parish. It aims to help you give generously within your means and makes it easier for the Parish to fund God’s work. It also helps the Parochial Church Council (PCC) to budget for the years ahead, giving solid financial foundations for the ministry and mission of our Parish, enabling us to plan for the future with confidence. Planned Giving also enables us to claim Gift Aid. We have a dedicated Planned Giving page to give you lots more information.

Legacies

Have you thought of leaving a gift to The Parish of St Mary with St Peter in your will?

If you are drawing up or amending a will, you may want to consider leaving a sum of money to the Parish. Over the years many people have given generous legacies to the parish and this continues to be an important source of funding, which has benefited our ministry and outreach in many ways. Any bequests made to us will be entirely free from any UK Inheritance Tax liability.

For more information we have leaflets available in the church (or download below) or please contact Jane Cotton via the Parish Office or there is a useful website www.churchlegacy.org.uk
