DID YOU KNOW YOU CAN SUPPORT YOUR CHURCH, EVEN WHEN YOU’RE NOT HERE?
Our expenditure amounts to approximately £1,400 per week.
This includes £850.11 per week which goes to the Diocese for our ‘Share’
Last weeks donations were as follows: Planned Giving £635.40 (including standing orders) Collections £239.19. Our income tax claim produces the equivalent of an additional £170 approx. per week. The shortfall is made up from fund raising.
If you pay Income Tax, in each chair can be found a yellow giving envelope. Loose collection can be placed in these envelopes, completing the details requested (this will enable us to reclaim 28p in the £ from the Inland Revenue). If you are a non-tax payer, please put your loose collection straight into the collecting bag when this is passed round during the service. Through our Planned Giving Scheme, church members commit a regular amount of money in order that we may be able to rely on a predictable income to meet our needs and responsibilities. Whilst we are grateful to those who contribute through the loose collections/Gift Aid envelopes, we need new members to join the Planned Giving scheme.
For further information please contact our Hon. Treasurer, Mr John Sprackling on (01202) 751553 or by e-mail via sprackling@branksomepark.freeserve.co.uk who will be please to provide you with a box of Weekly or Monthly envelopes or a standing order form.
