Giving to your churches
As you may know there are a number of time honoured ways that you can give towards the work of your three churches in our parish:
Introducing two new ways of giving
We would like to announce that you can now gift online, and by text from your mobile phone.
To give online go to: give.net and type "Blakedown Church" into the "Find a Charity" box. On the page you are taken to click on "Blakedown Church" and choose how you would like to give
To give by text simply text the message SJBC15 plus the amount that you would like to give to 70070
(the amount will be deducted from your mobile phone's credit balance)
The service is provided by "JustGiving",www.justgiving.com
The only income that your churches receive is from the generous gifts made by members of the congregations and communities.
From this the general day to day running costs of the church buildings have to be met (£1,000 a week for Churchill & Blakedown churches combined), along with the stipend of your Priest, the rectory running costs, training expenses, and all church mission and outreach costs (£26,000+ Parish Share for 2015/16).
Churchill & Blakedown churches are both facing roof repairs and we would very much welcome your support.
Thank you
- By placing your gift on the collection plate at any service
- By putting your gift in the Free Will Offering boxes at the rear of each church
- By using one of the Free Will Offering envelopes that are at the rear of each church
- By making a gift on the annual Church Gift Day
- By coming to and enjoying one of the many church fund raising events
