The normal opportunity to give is as part of the 'offering' during Sunday services. A way to ensure your giving is 'regular', whether you have been able to attend worship or not, is to join the Envelope Scheme or give by Standing Order.

Envelope Scheme

The Envelope Scheme is very simple. On joining you will be issued with a packet of envelopes - one for each Sunday in the year. You place your offering in the envelope and put it in with the collection. If you are unable to attend in a particular week, then you can put the missing week's envelope in the offering the next week.

If you would like a packet of envelopes (or two packets, if you wish) please contact John Berry

Standing Order

An increasingly popular alternative is to use a Bank Standing Order. (Most of the regular church income now comes from standing orders). This is a very easy way to give and is administratively more convenient to the church.

You give by Standing Order by instructing your bank to transfer a certain amount from your account to the church account on a regular basis (usually monthly).

If you would like to give by this method either

• follow the link and print the form : standing order form . Please send the completed form to your bank.

• or, ask John Berry for a copy.

If you are giving by envelope of standing order then please consider gift aiding.

A disadvantage of giving by standing order!

If you give by standing order you have made your offering and are not expected to put anything in the offering bag. Some people feel uncomfortable with this and like to 'physically' take part in the offering part of the service.

Clearly you can put a small amount of cash in the bag but it is preferable to have an envelope then the amount can be added to your standing order and it can all be gift aided. So it is perfectly acceptable to have a standing order and an envelope!
