Stewardship Campaign
Giving Financially: Supporting Our Church Family
All of us who worship—regularly or occasionally—carry a shared responsibility to help cover the considerable costs of running our place of prayer and community life.
We encourage parishioners to enter our Planned Giving scheme by pledging to give a regular amount – Ideally as a percentage of income – via Direct Debit or standing order. This allows the church to plan with financial certainty. If you pay income tax, a simple Gift Aid declaration boosts your donation by 25p for every £1 given, at no extra cost to you.
It is also possible to give in the traditional way of putting money in the ‘plate’. For most services during the week a basket is placed at entry/exit to the church where the service is taking place, during larger services a collection will be taken during the service. Gift Aid envelopes are available in the pews. Contactless donation points are also available.
If you wish to join the stewardship scheme please contact Sam Straker-Nesbit, chair of the Stewardship Committee through the parish office (020 8772 0463) or Click here for the Standing Order Form.
Giving Time: A Meaningful Way to Support Your Church
Supporting your church isn’t just about financial giving – your time and skills can be just as valuable. Volunteering is a powerful way to contribute, whether as an alternative to donating money or alongside it.
Churches thrive when members get involved. Helping with events – like coffee mornings, events like the Christmas market or special services – keeps church life vibrant. Whether you’re helping with the preparation, welcoming guests, or serving tea and coffee and even alcohol, your presence matters.
Behind the scenes, governance roles such as serving on the PCC offer a chance to shape the church’s future. Your insights and leadership help guide decisions on mission, finances, and care of the building.
Practical help is always needed too. From cleaning and gardening to fixing broken lights or painting a wall, small acts of service make a big impact. If you have specialist skills – like IT, finance, or communications – these can be a great blessing.
Pastoral care is another vital area. Visiting someone who’s unwell or lonely can bring real comfort and connection.
Volunteering builds community, deepens faith, and helps keep the church running smoothly. Whether you have a few hours a week or just now and then, offering your time is a powerful act of worship and love.
A huge thank you to those who already contribute so much both financially and practically.
If you wish to get more information, or get involved please contact Sophie through the parish office (020 8772 0463 option 1).
