One way to have a greater heart for God is to invest in His Kingdom. That means investing in where we find ourselves day to day – our benefice and local communities, as well as looking out for others further afield. We want to ensure that we are giving generously to support other people’s needs, but are also wanting to be generous to underpin our benefice needs too. Not just with our gifts, talents and time, but also financially.

Supporting our benefice financially

We are now trying to increase our giving within our benefice. Now is a strategic time for each of us to review and reassess our financial giving. Thinking about it, and then making a pledge, has the potential to take us into some of the most exciting Christian living possible!

All of us are in different situations so what matters is not the amount that we give, but what that sum really means.

Does it really demonstrate our trust in God? Is it enough to help us confront acquisitiveness and greed in our lives? Where is it in our spending priorities? If we get the right answers to these questions, the chances are the amount will take care of itself!

So, please take this opportunity to review your giving and then to consider making a pledge.

There are a number of different ways you can donate to the Benefice. Click here to find out more. Thank you!
